( 2004-01-02 21:00) (Agencies)
A U.S. military helicopter crashed west of Baghdad on Friday, killing one
soldier and wounding another, the U.S. military said. The cause was not
immediately known.
The crash of the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior near the town of Fallujah was under
investigation, the military said.
The area has seen several attacks on helicopters in recent months. In the
deadliest single attack on U.S. forces since the Iraq invasion began in
March, 17 soldiers were killed when two Black Hawk helicopters collided in mid
air above Mosul in what the military said was probably a grenade
attack.
