A U.S. Marine Corps AH-1 Cobra helicopter from 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing crashed today in Iraq's Anbar province with two Marines on board during a maintenance test flight, U.S. military officials said.
Search-and-rescue efforts are ongoing for the missing crewmembers.
"We are using all the resources available to find our missing comrades," Marine spokesman Lt. Col. Bryan Salas said.
The incident is under investigation. However officials said it does not appear to be a result of enemy action.
