U.S. helicopter crash kills 15 in Iraq
Deadliest day for U.S. troops in Iraq since March
Sunday, November 2, 2003 Posted: 9:39 AM EST (1439 GMT)
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A U.S. military transport helicopter crashed Sunday near Fallujah, Iraq, killing 15 U.S. troops and wounding 21 others, the U.S. military said.

Spokesman Col. William Darley said witnesses reported that the CH-47 Chinook had been hit by a missile, but he said the cause has not been determined.

Three other attacks also occurred Sunday in which at least one U.S. soldier died. It was the deadliest day in Iraq for U.S. forces since March.

The attacks came as coalition forces were on alert for a threatened "day of resistance" by anti-coalition guerrillas following a warning from the U.S. Consulate Office in Baghdad.

The helicopter was carrying soldiers to the Baghdad airport for the start of a so-called "R and R" mission -- a short break from duty. It crashed into a field near the town of Baisa, a rural area south of Fallujah, officials said.

Officials said between 32 and 35 people were aboard the helicopter, which was flying with another helicopter on the same mission.
