Bloody Sunday in Iraq

In the ongoing struggle against global Islamic terrorism a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter went down in northern
Iraq, killing all 12 Americans believed to be aboard in the deadliest crash in nearly a year, while five U.S. Marines died in weekend attacks, the military said Sunday.
The latest deaths followed an especially bloody week in which about 200 Iraqis and a dozen U.S. troops were killed. Iraqi politicians, meanwhile, claimed headway in forming a stable coalition government following the Dec. 15 elections, whose final results may be released this week.
Elsewhere in Iraq:
• Gunmen assassinated a member of former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's secular Shiite Iraqi National List in Baghdad.
• A gunman was killed when clashes broke out between militants and Iraqi police.
• Militants opened fire on a vehicle in Baghdad, killing the driver.
