Several people were killed by US troops after infiltrating Iraq from Syria and shooting at a US helicopter, forcing it to land but causing no US casualties. “Soldiers engaged a small number of people who infiltrated from the border,” a coalition spokesman said Wednesday. “Some were killed, others detained,” he said, adding that small arms and rocket-propelled grenades were seized. During the operation, a OH-58 reconnaissance helicopter took small arms fire which damaged a hydraulic pump forcing the pilot to land, the spokesman said. Another coalition official said there were no US injuries in Tuesday night’s incident near Husaybah, about 360 kilometers (225 miles) northwest of Baghdad. Full Story
