Pentagon: Bodies of missing soldiers found in raid Saturday, April 5, 2003 Posted: 2:14 AM EST (0714 GMT) (CNN) --The bodies of eight missing members of an Army maintenance convoy were recovered in the raid on an Iraqi hospital that freed Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch, the Pentagon said Saturday. The soldiers had been listed as missing in action since their convoy drove into an ambush near the southern Iraqi town of Nasiriya on March 23. Seven of the eight were from Lynch's 507th Maintenance Company, based at Fort Bliss, Texas. The other soldier was with the 3rd Division Support Battalion, based at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
