BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A U.S. Marine was killed and three others were missing after their helicopter made an emergency landing Sunday in Iraq's volatile Anbar province, the U.S. military announced Monday.
A military statement said 12 passengers survived the plunge into a lake, The Associated Press reported.
The military said a Marine was pulled from the water but attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful, while three other service members were listed as "duty status unknown," the AP said.
On Monday, U.S. forces killed "two terrorists," detained six others and destroyed a car bomb during a raid in northern Baghdad, a military statement said. The raid also netted munitions and a small number of weapons.
According to the U.S. military, intelligence information led them to the site.
"Coalition Forces are making progress dismantling the al Qaeda in Iraq terrorist network and ridding local neighborhoods of terrorist activities," the statement said.
Nine U.S. troops died in Iraq during the weekend, including five killed by roadside bombs, the U.S. military reported Sunday.
Two soldiers were killed and two wounded Sunday when a roadside bomb exploded near their vehicle in northern Iraq, U.S. commanders in the northern city of Tikrit announced. The soldiers were assigned to the Army's 3rd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division.
Two U.S. soldiers and a Marine died from unspecified "enemy action" in western Iraq's Anbar province Saturday, the American command in Baghdad reported, while two U.S. soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb.
Anbar, including the provincial capital Ramadi, has been a hotbed of the mostly Sunni Arab insurgency against U.S. troops that emerged after the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
And two American soldiers were reported killed in Baghdad -- one slain by a roadside bomb Saturday, another killed in fighting Sunday.
The latest deaths bring the number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq to 2,901, including including seven civilians working for the Defense Department.
