Iraqi Dies in U.S. Helicopter Collision

Posted on: Saturday, 4 October 2008, 18:00 CDT

An Iraqi soldier died Saturday evening when two U.S. Blackhawk helicopters collided while landing in Baghdad.

Lt. Patrick Evans, a spokesman for the U.S. military, said the crash did not appear to be the result of insurgent fire, CNN reported.

The UH-60 Blackhawks were landing at Combat Outpost Ford in northern Baghdad.

Two U.S. and two Iraqi soldiers were hurt, Evans said.
