US military: 2 US helicopter pilots killed in Iraq

None

The US military says two Army helicopter pilots have been killed in an accident on a base in northern Iraq.

 

The military said in a statement that there were no "enemy forces" present and no hostile fire reported. It said the aircraft made a "hard landing" Sunday near an airfield inside the base, but gave no further details. The military often uses the phrase "hard landing" to mean a crash. (AP)
