An Iraqi military helicopter flies over Shi'ite pilgrims commemorating the anniversary of Imam al-Kadhim's death, in Baghdad July 18, 2009. Iraqi forces handled security without U.S. support on Friday for a major religious pilgrimage, their first big test since last month's withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraqi towns and cities.
