Spain mourns crash troops

Spain has held a state funeral for 17 of its soldiers killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan on Tuesday.

King Juan Carlos and Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero led about 1,000 mourners at the ceremony at the army's headquarters in Madrid.

Flags are at half-mast as the country marks two days of national mourning.

Autopsies on the bodies have been completed but it is still unclear why the helicopter crashed four days ago near the western Afghan city of Herat.

Defence Minister Jose Bono said strong winds were the most likely cause, but an attack has not been ruled out.
