A commercial helicopter has been shot down about 20km north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, killing all 11 people on board. Those who died were six US security contractors, three Bulgarian crew members and two Fijian security guards. US and Bulgarian officials said the bulgarian-owned chopper was brought down by a rocket-propelled grenade. It is believed to be the first time a civilian aircraft has been shot down over Iraq since the US-led invasion. However, insurgents have shot down several US military helicopters. The Russian-built MI-8 helicopter was owned by a Bulgarian company, Heli Air, and chartered by SkyLink, a North American company. SkyLink said it had been flying to Tikrit, north of Baghdad.
