KABUL, June 18 (AP) Four helicopter engines worth US$13 million are missing in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region, the U.S. military said. U.S. spokeswoman Lt. Col. Rumi Nielson-Green said the helicopters were being shipped overland from the U.S. base in Bagram to a seaport for shipment back to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The parts went missing sometime before the 101st Airborne's arrival in Afghanistan in April, she said. Nielson-Green said the parts were being shipped by a Pakistani trucking company, but it is not clear where they disappeared. The U.S. did not disclose what kind of engines they were.

Life's no life when honour's left
Man's a man when honour's kept
Nation's honour and nation's fame -
On life they have a prior claim
With thoughts of these I do remain
Unvexed with cares of loss or gain.
