No Public Media Coverage In Dover Today

The remains of the 30 U.S. troops killed when a Chinook helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan will arrive at Dover Air Force Base today, the Associated Press reports. But Pentagon officials said there won't be public media coverage of the military's "dignified transfer" ceremony because the remains are still being identified. Families are allowed to attend the arrival. NATO said the Chinook helicopter carrying the troops was shot down by an insurgent armed with a rocket-propelled grenade.
