Islamist: al-Qaida holds coalition troops
April 2, 2003
LONDON, April 2 (UPI) -- A Muslim fundamentalist source claimed Wednesday that Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network captured five coalition troops in Iraq.
The source who requested anonymity told United Press International by telephone that the kidnapping of four U.S. troops and a British soldier, took place last Saturday in al-Zubair region of southern Iraq, close to the Kuwaiti border.
He said the "kidnapped troops will be equally treated as al-Qaida prisoners held in Guantanamo Bay."
He said al-Qaida will soon release a videotape of the captured soldiers and will ask to swap them with al-Qaida suspects being held by the United States.

reports this morning .. this man walked back to the hospital twice to get more information for the marines.. He observed how many troops where in the hospital , their locations.. also drew a map of the hospital for them. He then also went back to determine the exact room number etc
In all he walked six miles to Marines and then back THREE times while fighting was going on within the distance he had to travel.. . What a tremendous person..

Joe, should we consider Gussy and his girly Len the colatral damage in Iraq war? They have disappeared along with the rest of Saddam regime. Probably in some cave on Zagros waiting for final "salvation" or bombed into dust! GG
