LAS VEGAS (AP) - A German air force fighter-bomber crashed in a
sprawling military training range, killing both crew members, military
officials said Sunday.

Nellis Air Force Base officials said the Tornado bomber crashed late
Friday in the restricted area of the base's training area, about 100 miles
northwest of Las Vegas.

The crash was being investigated by German and U.S. air force officials.

Germany is one of five foreign nations that sent aircraft to participate in
the Red Flag mock-combat aerial exercises being conducted at the
base.

Because of safety concerns and restrictions on the range, reporters were
not allowed access to the area.

Red Flag began March 3 and runs through April 13.
