An Iraqi air force officer is saying the Sea Knight was downed by an anti-aircraft missile and the Islamic State in Iraq is claiming responsibility. This is the fourth helicopter they have claimed they have shot down. I saw the video of the chopper that went down in [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]al-Taji and you can see a rag head holding some type of rocket launcher then you hear some gun fire followed by the blast from the rocket. Either they got a delievery of MANPADS from Al-Qaeda or they captured them from rival Shiite militias which in turn obtained them from Iran. Your guess is as good as mine but I'm sure the US Military will get to the bottom of this.[/FONT]
