RIDLEY PARK, Pa. (AP) - The Defense Department says two military
helicopters at a Boeing factory near Philadelphia were vandalized
on the production line.

Federal officials are handing out fliers to workers Thursday at
the Boeing Rotorcraft Systems plant offering a $5,000 reward in the
vandalizing of the two H-47 Chinook helicopters.

The company found what it called irregularities in the
helicopters Tuesday. Company officials and the military have not
said what was found.

Congressman Joe Sestak says he was told that wires that appeared
to be broken or severed were found in one helicopter. A suspicious
washer was found in a second.
