AP reports:<\/a><\/p>\n

A U.S. Army OH-58 helicopter made an emergency landing in eastern Baghdad on Sunday, the military said. There were no reports of casualties.<\/p>\n

The chopper made “a precautionary landing” just north of Baghdad’s Sadr City neighborhood, said Maj. Phil Smith.<\/p>\n

It was not known if the helicopter had been fired upon.<\/p>\n

“Both pilots are fine and we’re in the process of recovering the aircraft,” Smith told The Associated Press. “They landed the aircraft safely just north of Sadr City.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
