US Chinook Downed Kills 14, Clashes In Ramadi Kills More

US Chinook Downed Kills 14, Clashes In Ramadi Kills More
Feb 09, 2005
By Muhammad Abu Nasr, Free Arab Voice; Edited And Published By JUS

Resistance forces fired a surface-to-air rocket at an American Chinook helicopter that was hovering at a low altitude over the city of al-Qa’im. The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported seeing the huge burning helicopter plunge to earth and exploding in a blast that rocked the whole city.

In a dispatch posted at 11:20am Tuesday morning Mecca time, the correspondent reported that fire was still burning in the wreckage of the aircraft and ammunition was still exploding within the flaming craft.

US forces closed in on the wrecked helicopter but at the time the reporters filing, he had still not been able to approach very close to it because of the continuing explosions that were going of as munitions blew amid the wreckage. The Americans had, however, reportedly recovered the bodies of 14 soldiers from the “Dirty Division” of US Marines. Witnesses reported that the US troops found the American crew’s corpses 100 meters or more from the burning hulk of the Chinook.

Revisionist history about when it happened as well. Think it was three weeks ago that a mulah was bragging about this on PDF.

...and try not to post stuff like this then pretend not to be gloating that Iraq is supposedly being lost to extremists by mullah's and the liberal media.
