Holder to meet plane carrying bodies of DEA agents
DOVER, Del. — The leaders of the U.S. Justice Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration planned to travel to Delaware to honor three DEA agents killed in Afghanistan.
Attorney General Eric Holder and DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart were to travel to Dover Air Force Base Wednesday night to meet the plane carrying the bodies of the agents, who died Monday in a helicopter crash that also killed seven U.S. service members.
The crash is still under investigation.
The agents, the first fatalities in the DEA's counter-narcotics operations in Afghanistan, were identified as Special Agent Forrest Leamon, Special Agent Chad Michael and Special Agent Michael Weston.
Dover is home to the nation's largest military mortuary and the return point for military casualties from overseas.
