A British military transport plane crashed northwest of Baghdad Sunday, British and U.S. officials said. A spokesman for Britain's Defense Ministry said he had no details about where the C-130 Hercules transport plane had come down, what had caused it to crash or whether there were any casualties. U.S. officials said the plane crashed near the Iraqi capital, and media reports said the aircraft was on its way to the city of Balad from Baghdad when it crashed. "I can confirm that a C-130 aircraft has crashed," the British spokesman said. "It was reported at 1725 local time but we have no details about cause, location or casualties."
