'Overcrowded' aid helicopter crashes after delivering aid in Iraq
A Russian-built Iraqi military helicopter providing aid to people stranded on a mountain fleeing Islamic militants has crashed and killed the pilot after too many tried to climb aboard.
Iraqi parliamentarian Vian Dakheel, of the minority Yazidi community most affected by the fighting, was aboard the Mi-17 helicopter and was injured in the crash. She and others on board were evacuated to a hospital in the nearby Kurdish autonomous region.
