U.S. soldiers clear wreckage from a destroyed Black Hawk helicopter in Mosul, November 16, 2003. Soldiers retrieved bodies and wreckage from two Black Hawks which came down under fire yesterday, killing at least 17 soldiers. The heaviest U.S. loss of life in a single incident since the invasion of Iraq in March came just hours after Washington set the country on a swifter passage to self-rule in a bid to calm Iraqi anger at occupation.
