U.S. Black Hawk Crashes in Iraq; 9 Dead A U.S. Black Hawk helicopter (search) went down west of Baghdad on Thursday, killing all nine soldiers aboard, the U.S. military said. It was the deadliest helicopter incident for Americans in Iraq since Nov. 15, when two Black Hawks collided under fire in Mosul, killing 17 soldiers. The helicopter went down near the tense city of Fallujah (search) in the so-called "Sunni Triangle," (search) which has been a hotbed of resistance toward coalition troops and an area of strong support for deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The military spokesman told Fox News that the chopper "crash landed" just south of Fallujah. The cause of the crash was unknown, Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt told reporters Thursday. The area around the crash site has been secured and an investigation is under way. The chopper was on a medical evacuation mission and was attached to the 82nd Airborne Division. ... foxnews.com lurqer
