US military helicopter crashes in Iraq

The US military has said one of its helicopters has crashed north-east of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, killing all 13 people on-board.

The military did not say what caused the helicopter to come down.

The United States has suffered several fatal helicopter crashes in Iraq since the invasion in 2003.

In December, four troops were killed when the helicopter they were travelling in crashed in the Western Anbar province.
