TEHRAN, Feb 17, 2007 (AFP) – Two people were killed Saturday when their helicopter crashed into a lake in southern Iran while attempting to recover the wreckage of a chopper from a crash two days earlier at the same location.

The helicopter crashed at around 11:00 am (0730 GMT), killing both occupants, the state-run IRNA agency reported.
