Laos will permit a U.S. team to enter next week to excavate the site where an Air Force plane crashed during the Vietnam War, the Pentagon announced. An 11-member team will spend about two weeks in Savannakhet province in southern Laos, where an AC-130 plane with a crew of 14 crashed March 19, 1972. The excavation will be the second permitted by Laos within the last year.
