U.S. Helicopter Down in Iraq, Four Dead -Jazeera
Wed May 28, 2003 11:29 AM ET
DUBAI (Reuters) - Al-Jazeera television said on Wednesday that four U.S. soldiers were killed in Iraq when a helicopter came down.
The Pentagon said it had no information on any missing or crashed U.S. helicopter in Iraq. It said the U.S. military in Baghdad knew of no such incident but that checks were being made.

Jazeera's correspondent quoted witnesses in the town of Hit, 150 km (90 miles) northwest of Baghdad, saying the helicopter crashed during clashes after armed Iraqis had attacked a local police station.

The correspondent reported that U.S. forces withdrew from city after coming under heavy attacks from residents angry at their presence. He said some residents said they had shot down the helicopter.

The residents attacked the police station because they were angry with Iraqi police for helping American forces in house-to house searches for weapons, the Jazeera report said.

Violent anti-US protest in Iraq against house-to-house searches
DOHA, (AFP) - Violent demonstrations broke out Wednesday in Hit, a town 130 kilometres (80 miles) west of Baghdad, when residents protested searches of their homes by US troops, Al-Jazeera television reported.

Al-Jazeera's correspondent was interrupted several times during his live transmission by what sounded like a crowd chanting anti-US slogans.

Quoting witnesses, the correspondent of the Qatar-based Arab satellite station said US troops, aided by Iraqi policemen, had been searching houses in Hit for weapons, provoking the anger of residents.
