The U.S. military is investigating the death of an American soldier deployed in Iraq who died in "a non-combat related incident," U.S. command said Sunday.
The soldier died Saturday in Baghdad, the military said, providing no other details.
Elsewhere, a U.S. Army OH-58 helicopter made an emergency landing in eastern Baghdad on Sunday, the military said. There were no reports of casualties.
The chopper made "a precautionary landing" just north of Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood, said Maj. Phil Smith.
It was not known if the helicopter had been fired upon.
"Both pilots are fine and we're in the process of recovering the aircraft," Smith told The AP. "They landed the aircraft safely just north of Sadr City." (Albawaba.com)
