Insurgents have shot down a US Apache attack helicopter in west Baghdad, killing its two crew members, the military said.

Heavy fighting was taking place in the area for the third straight day.

The "pilots have been declared killed in action," Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt told reporters.

The AH-64 Apache attack helicopter carries two crew members.

US troops blocked traffic on the main highway out of Baghdad on the western edge.

Large palls of black smoke were seen rising from the nearby area of Abu Ghraib, where at least four helicopters were seen hovering overhead.

Masked gunmen have been roaming the roads in west Baghdad for the past three days, attacking military fuel convoys and blowing up tanker trucks.
