Brussels, Mar 21: British Prime Minister Tony Blair expressed condolences today to the families of US and British soldiers who died in an overnight helicopter crash in Kuwait, becoming the first allied military casualties since the start of the war on Iraq. "These were brave men who, in order to make US safer, knew the risks, faced the risks and had the courage to serve their country and the wider world. We owe them an immense debt of gratitude," he told reporters on the sidelines of an EU summit in Brussels.
