Missile Fire Downs Chopper in Iraq; 11 Die

Watch the end of the video.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Insurgents brought down a Russian-made helicopter carrying 11 civilians with missile fire north of the capital Thursday and said they captured and shot to death the lone crew member who survived. The dead from the crash included six American bodyguards for U.S. diplomats.

The chartered flight was believed to be the first civilian aircraft shot down in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion two years ago.

"Heroes of the Islamic Army downed a transport aircraft belonging to the army of the infidels and killed its crew and those on board in the regions of al-Taji north of Baghdad," the Islamic Army in Iraq group said in a written statement posted on the Web with a video purporting to show the shooting of the survivor.

"One of the crew members was captured and killed," the statement said.

In the video, which shows burning wreckage and two charred bodies, militants come across an injured man wearing a blue flightsuit lying tall grass. "It's broken," the survivor says in accented English, apparently referring to his leg, as militants - unseen except in brief glances - tell him to stand up. "Weapons? Weapons?" the gunmen ask him in Arabic and English as he stands uneasily.

They tell him, "Go!", and he starts to hobble away, holding his hands up toward them. The gunmen then open fire, shouting "Allahu akbar," or "God is great," with the bullets hitting his body. They fire more shots into his body on the ground.
