This is the difference between Iraq now and Iraq before.

6 detained in helicopter downing in Iraq

The U.S. military said Saturday it had detained six men suspected of shooting down a Russian-made helicopter carrying 11 civilians -- including six Americans -- north of Baghdad two days earlier.

An Iraqi civilian helped U.S. soldiers in Task Force Baghdad locate the suspects, who were apprehended at two houses Saturday afternoon, the military said in a statement....

The Iraqi civilian told soldiers he knew where a blue pickup truck used in the attack was parked and led them to the site, the military said. When the soldiers reached the area, several other local residents confirmed the initial tip and showed them where the suspects lived, the statement said.
