BAGHDAD – Two U.S. helicopters crashed Monday in northern Iraq, killing four American troops, the U.S. military said.
The military said the crash happened at about 2:15 a.m. local time and it "does not appear to be by enemy action."
No precise location was given but a military spokesman said it happened in Tamim province, which includes the oil-rich disputed city of Kirkuk.
Iraqi officials said the crash site was located about 20 miles west of Kirkuk, which is about 180 miles north of Baghdad. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not supposed to release the information.
