Sat November 15, 2003 11:53 AM ET
MOSUL, Iraq (Reuters) - A U.S. helicopter crashed in a civilian area in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul Saturday and American soldiers sealed off the area, witnesses said.
A U.S. military spokesman said initial reports indicated that a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter had come down in northern Iraq and that a rapid reaction force was securing the area and investigating. There was no immediate word on casualties.
On November 2, a U.S. Chinook helicopter was shot down west of Baghdad, killing 16 soldiers in the deadliest single strike on American troops since the start of the war to oust Saddam Hussein.
On November 7, a U.S. Black Hawk was shot down in Saddam's hometown of Tikrit, killing all six people aboard.
