US

military: Helicopter downed in Iraq

A US

helicopter has been shot down northeast of Baghdad and two soldiers on board

were killed, the military said.

The helicopter was one

of two that came under attack by small arms fire near Baquba, 60km northeast of

Baghdad, late on Thursday. The other landed safely.

 

A military

announcement said the two Task Force Liberty helicopters received small arms

fire at 10.50pm (1850 GMT) while conducting operations in support of coalition

forces.

 

One, a two-seater

OH-58 Kiowa, landed safely at a nearby base after sustaining damage and its

passengers were unharmed, while the other crashed, killing two soldiers, the

military said.
