The Associated Press
BAGHDAD — A Marine helicopter carrying 21 people made a hard landing in Anbar province on Monday, injuring 18, the military said.
Hostile action did not appear to be the cause of the problem suffered by the CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter while conducting a routine passenger and cargo flight at noon, it said.
Eighteen people were injured, including nine who were treated and returned to duty, the U.S. command said in a brief statement.
