| U.S. Soldier Reported Missing in Baghdad |
| 2006-10-24 |
| A U.S. soldier in Baghdad was reported missing late Monday, the U.S. military in Baghdad said. Other reports claimed he was an officer of Iraqi descent and was kidnapped. A military official in Washington said the missing service member was an Army translator, and the initial report was that he may have been abducted. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not cleared for release. An employee at Baghdad's al-Furat TV, which was raided by American forces earlier Monday, said the U.S. forces conducting the search told him they were looking for an abducted American officer of Iraqi descent. |

| #2 From AP: U.S. soldiers patrolling Karradah showed photocopies of the man's photograph to residents in a search for leads. The missing soldier's name and other personal details have not been officially released, although American troops who raided Baghdad's al-Furat TV on Monday said they were looking for an abducted American officer of Iraqi descent who went to join family members in Karradah. When does the US Army allow it's soldiers to take leave and visit family on their own? This is beginning to smell like that Lebanese Marine "captive". Hope his security clearance wasn't too high. |
