Ten more American soldiers were reported killed across Iraq, including five when their helicopter crashed in the western Sunni province of Al-Anbar, the military said Tuesday.
The CH-47 Chinook helicopter crashed near the Al-Taqaddum air base "while conducting a routine post-maintenance check flight," the military added, saying the incident was under investigation.
Earlier, the military reported the deaths of another five soldiers in insurgent attacks. Three Task Force Lightning soldiers died and one more was wounded when insurgents set off a bomb near their vehicle on Monday in the restive northern province of Nineveh, the military said.
