Anti-US fighters take control of Mosul


Journalists based in Mosul have told Aljazeera that local anti-US fighters have taken control of the northern Iraqi city, contradicting US military statements that they are in charge.



Various reports on Friday suggested that Iraqi police and national guardsmen had disappeared from view and masked armed men were wandering freely around Iraq's second largest city.

A main road to the local governorate and police station was littered with roadside bombs, making movement in the heart of the city hazardous.

Iraqi fighters down US helicopter



The helicopter's crew escaped with moderate injuries


A US Black Hawk helicopter has been brought down by anti-US fighters' groundfire northeast of Baghdad, the US military says.


A military spokesman in Baghdad said three members of the four-man crew were injured when the aircraft came down hard near the town of Taji, about 20km northeast of Baghdad.

The injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.

No further details were immediately available.
