Four ambassadors from non-aligned and G-77 countries in the UN

Four ambassadors from non-aligned and G-77 countries in the UN atomic agency were to head to Tehran on Friday ahead of talks on whether Iran should face UN sanctions over its nuclear program, Malaysian ambassador Hussein Haniff told AFP. Haniff said he and the ambassadors of Cuba, South Africa and Algeria "are going to update ourselves about the agreement between the EU and Iran" on Tehran suspending uranium enrichment. The suspension, which is set to begin on Monday, responds to a resolution adopted by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency in September for Iran to halt key parts of the nuclear fuel cycle, Haniff said. --AFP

Helicopter crash kills 4 in Argentina

A helicopter crash killed four members of the Argentine air force in southwestern Argentina, officials said on Friday. The accident occurred Thursday night in a mountainous region near the city of Bariloche, 1,360 kilometers from the capital of Buenos Aires. The area's inhospitable terrain prevented rescue officials from reaching the crash site until Friday morning, when all four occupants were found dead, according to air force spokesman Guillermo Lozada. The air force members were returning to Bariloche after fighting a forest fire in the nearby town of El Bolson when the Bell UH-1H helicopter went down. Officials were searching for the cause of the accident. --AP
