U.S. military reports two helicopters down in Baghdad area

Two U.S. Army helicopters crashed in southwest Baghdad late Saturday, killing two soldiers and injuring two others, the U.S. military said.
The 1st Cavalry Division said the cause of the crashes,
which occurred about 8:30 p.m., had not been determined.
The aircraft went down in southwest Baghdad. Names of the
dead and injured were withheld pending notification of
relatives, but U.S. officials said they were assigned to
Task Force Baghdad.
The U.S. military has lost at least 27 helicopters in Iraq
since May 2003, many of them to hostile fire, according to
the Brookings Institution.
