Two US Blackhawk helicopters crashed in northern Baghdad's district of Adhamiyah late on Saturday, a US military spokesman said. At least one Iraqi army soldier was killed and four people, including two US soldiers were wounded, spokesman Lieutenant Patrick Evans told AFP. "Two UH-60 Blackhawks have crashed while landing at Combat Outpost Ford in Adhamiyah (northern Baghdad) about 8:55 pm (1755 GMT)," Evans said.
"One Iraqi army soldier is killed. Two coalition forces (personnel) and two Iraqi army (soldiers were) wounded," he said, adding that the "situation is under control. Emergency services are on the scene." It is not known how many were on board at the time of the incident, he said. "Enemy fire is not suspected at this time," he added.
