Iraqi television Monday showed two men said to have been the crew of an Apache helicopter forced down during heavy fighting the night before in central Iraq.

The two wore cream pilot overalls and did not speak to the camera but appeared confused. They turned their heads and looked in different directions as the camera filmed them.

Iraq's state television later showed a collection of documents arrayed on the floor. They included what looked like ID cards and a VISA credit card.
