US loses spy drone as Iraqis make off with wreck

MOSUL, Iraq, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Iraqis in the northern city Mosul have made off with a top secret American spy plane.

The U.S. military in Iraq said in a statement on Thursday that one of its "unmanned aerial vehicles" -- otherwise known as a drone -- had crashed in the town the night before.

"Within the hour, the crash site was investigated by nearby troops who assessed that no civilians or property were harmed or damaged as a result of the accident," it said.
