Video of 'downed US chopper' shown


AL-QAEDA in Iraq has posted an internet video apparently showing the bodies of two US Marines killed in a military helicopter which the group said it had shot down.

Several men were shown gathering around the burning helicopter, pulling out two bodies in military fatigues and collecting communications equipment and other debris strewn around the twisted wreckage.
A statement, posted along with the video on an Islamic website, said it showed the Super Cobra helicopter which al-Qaeda said it shot down with a missile in Ramadi.

The US military has said it was investigating reports by residents that the helicopter was hit by a missile, caught fire and broke apart in the air before crashing.
