Baghdad - Two US army pilots were killed when their helicopter crash landed at an American base in Salaheddin province in central Iraq, the military said in a statement on Monday.

The latest deaths take to 4 361 the number of American soldiers killed since the beginning of the 2003 US-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein, according to an AFP tally based on the independent website icasualties.org.
