Chopper crash in Iraq

Helicopter crash

Elsewhere in the north, a US helicopter has come down 5km south of Falluja, Aljazeera’s correspondent reports.

The Tomahawk assault helicopter crashed in the suburb of Saddat al-Falluja on Tuesday afternoon.

Witnesses confirmed seeing the incident while others reported seeing flames coming from the aircraft.

The US military in Baghdad said the crash was a "controlled, hard landing" and there were no injuries or deaths from the incident.
