Four U.S. Air Force personnel and one Iraqi were killed in the crash of an
Iraqi air force aircraft north of Baghdad, the American military confirmed
Tuesday.
The crash happened at about noon Monday near the village of Jalula, about 80
miles northeast of the capital, said military spokesman Lt. Col. Fred Wellman.
"All the personnel onboard are confirmed to have been killed in action, but
there is still an investigation ongoing," Wellman said.
It was unclear what type of fixed-wing aircraft it was, who was in control of
it nor why it crashed. Strong wind buffeted central and northern Iraq on
Monday.
