It also showed pictures of what Jazeera said was a downed U.S. pilotless drone.  <br><br> Jazeera said the helicopter was an Apache shot down in the mid-Euphrates region of Iraq. It gave no details of the fate of the crew. U.S. officials had no immediate comment.  <br><br> Iraq said Monday that farmers had shot down two U.S. helicopters south of Baghdad, and showed television pictures of a downed helicopter and its captured two-man crew.  <br><br> The Pentagon (news - web sites) confirmed after that incident that one AH-64 Apache attack helicopter had gone down in Iraq. On Tuesday, U.S. military officials said the helicopter had been subsequently destroyed by U.S. forces.  <br><br>  <br>  <br> The two crew of the helicopter that went down on Monday -- Chief Warrant Officer David Williams, 30, from Florida, and Chief Warrant Officer Ronald Young Jr., 26, of Lithia Springs, Georgia -- are now officially listed as prisoners of war.  <br>  <br> \n","contact":"","link":"http:\/\/story.news.yahoo.com\/news?tmpl=story&u=\/nm\/20030327\/ts_nm\/iraq_jazeera_helicopter_dc&cid=564&ncid=1473","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Good news!
