WASHINGTON — A CIA employee was killed last week when a Salvadoran military helicopter crashed in the eastern part of that Central American country, the State Department said.
The Salvadoran military announced last week that a U.S.-made UH-1H Huey crashed on a flight from San Miguel to San Salvador, killing four Salvadorans.
On Monday, State Department spokesman Greg Lagana said the crash also killed a CIA employee. The State Department and the CIA both refused to release the identity of the American victim.
However, the Patriot Ledger in Quincy, Mass., reported Monday that a former area resident named Richard D. Kroboch died last week in a helicopter crash in El Salvador.
