Ammar al-Hakim, son of Iraqi Shi'ite leader Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, shows his passport during a news conference in Najaf, 160 km (100 miles) south of Baghdad, February 24, 2007. Hundreds of Iraqis took to the streets of Shi'ite towns on Saturday to protest Friday's detention of Ammar. The U.S. military said Ammar was held on Friday because members of his convoy acted suspiciously at a border checkpoint while returning from Iran. He was released after several hours.

An Iraqi soldier stands guard as an Iraqi Air Force's new Huey II helicopter flies in the fortified Green Zone in Baghdad March 3, 2007. The helicopter is among the 16 donated to Iraq by Jordan and refitted and upgraded in the United States at a cost of $3.5 million each. The first five were delivered to the Iraqi Air Force in February.
