( Editorial: --> 5793 ) SARAJEVO, Aug 25 (Hina) - Members of the NATO-led peace Stabilisation Force (SFOR) in Bosnia discovered the remains of an unidentified helicopter which crashed 20km south of Srebrenica in the east of the country. Without specifying when exactly the remains were discovered, SFOR spokeswoman Sheen Thompson said in Sarajevo on Tuesday that NATO soldiers were trying to access the wreck located on a mountain top. It is assumed the wreck is an Mi-8 transport helicopter, but the identification is hampered by the absence of any trademarks. Thompson confirmed there are no signs of life on the site of the crash. The SFOR command is Bosnia has not been notified that a helicopter from Bosnia or abroad has been reported as missing. An investigation into the circumstances of the crash will be conducted by the SFOR. If necessary the Bosnian State Administration for Civilian Air Traffic will be asked to assist.
