BAGHDAD, March 4 (Reuters) - An Iraqi air force helicopter missing in northern Iraq has been found crashed in northern Iraq with all eight personnel on board killed, the U.S. military said on Tuesday.

One U.S. service member was among those on board, it said in a statement, adding that the cause of the crash was under investigation. Iraqi officials earlier said the Russian-made Mi-17 aircraft had gone missing in a dust storm. (Baghdad newsroom; Editing by Ross Colvin)
