Baghdad: Two US soldiers were killed in a helicopter accident in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Saturday, a military spokeswoman said.
The helicopter involved was an OH-58 Kiowa Warrior, a small scout helicopter fitted with weapons. It hit overhead cables as it was attempting to land.
Air crashes have remained common in Iraq even as violence has waned. A civilian cargo plane crashed in Western Iraq on Thursday killing seven people.
Two Black Hawk helicopters collided last month killing one US soldier, and seven soldiers died when a Chinook transport helicopter crashed in southern Iraq in September.
