      Two rescue helicopters have been deployed in the search for an American pilot missing behind enemy lines in Iran — as armed tribesmen have fanned out across the desert terrain in a bid to find the vanished US military member. The search-and-rescue mission was well into its second day Saturday as efforts to find the pilot escalated, Fox News reported. The pilot was forced to bail out of the F-15E Strike Eagle, a two-seater plane, after it was shot down Friday over Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, near Iraq.
