Default Fifth U.S. chopper in 18 days goes down

Four U.S. helicopters -- three military and one civilian -- were shot down
in Iraq between January 20 and Friday, raising concerns that insurgents are
becoming more proficient at downing the aircraft. Sixteen U.S. troops were
killed in the three military chopper crashes.
