BlackHawk shot down in Iraq?

The Iraqi Resistance is claiming to have shot down a Blackhawk Helicopter

In a bulletin posted at 7:20pm Mecca time Sunday evening, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a short time earlier, Iraqi Resistance fighters had shot down an American Black Hawk helicopter in date palm groves in the al-Jazirah area north of ar-Ramadi, some 110km west of Baghdad.

The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported a number of local residents as saying that the American Black Hawk had been hovering at low altitude over their area when Resistance gunfire caused it to explode in the air and crash. The witnesses said that the American crew was killed instantly.

Afterwards, US forces with dozens of vehicles and helicopter gunships flying air support stormed into the crash zone and imposed a curfew.
