JERUSALEM, Sept 10 (Reuters) - An Israeli Cobra attack helicopter crashed in northern Israel on Wednesday in what appeared to be a training accident, an army spokesman said.

"This is the kind of accident that has happened before in the air force. We are checking every angle, technical and others," chief military spokesman Avi Benayahu told Israel's Channel 10 television.

Benayahu did not say whether there were any casualties in the crash near the northern Israeli city of Afula, about 28 km (17 miles) from the border with Jordan. (Writing by Ari Rabinovitch; Editing by Elizabeth Piper)
