The US Department of Defence on Saturday identified the six US airmen who were killed in a plane crash over Iraq.
The airmen were on a KC-135 aerial refueling tanker last week supporting US attacks on Iran.
The crash involved another aircraft but was not the result of hostile or friendly fire and is under investigation, the military has said.

Major John A. Klinner, 33, of Auburn, Alabama.
Captain Ariana G. Savino, 31, of Covington, Washington.
