The US military suffered its worst loss of life from a helicopter crash in Iraq
in two years today as a Black Hawk crashed, killing 14 servicemen [from Task Force Lightning
.
The UH-60 Black Hawk was part of a two-unit convoy engaged in night operations in northern Iraq when it came down.
A spokesman for US forces said early indications pointed to mechanical failure as the cause of the crash but could not rule out a strike by a surface to air missile. An investigation is being carried in tandem with a recovery operation.
