Supposedly 14 (8 British and 4 US) military personnel died in a helipcoter crash in the war. Was it an accident or were they shot down by Iraqi forces?

Thats sad
I would imagine it was an accident though, they are unfortunatekly helicopter accidents seem comparitively common in modern armed forces..........
Here's a hint, it's not the iraqi's....
Although it could be a little unfair to blame the americans... A good share of the blame should go to Mr. Blair.
Some shocking maths there monocrat!
Those choppers and their bigger Chinooks are slightly on the dodgy side unfortunately.
Like with the last Gulf War it would seem that at least 9 out of 10 casualties will be down to accidents and friendly fire.
im wondering how long it is before the british units recieved "freindly fire" and are bombed by accident by the US troops.
