American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 17, 2007 - Army officials continue work
to determine the identity of one of the four U.S. soldiers who were
killed during an enemy attack May 12 near Mahmudiyah, Iraq.
The Defense Department yesterday released the names and
units of seven U.S. Army soldiers who were killed or reported missing
when their squad was ambushed May 12 about 20 miles south of Baghdad.
An eighth servicemember, an Iraqi army interpreter, also was reported
killed in the attack.
All of the U.S. soldiers belong to the 4th Battalion,
31st Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain
Division (Light Infantry), based at Fort Drum, near Watertown, N.Y.
"It may be sometime today, leaning towards later
in the day," when the identity of the soldier might be confirmed,
Fort Drum spokesman Ben Abel said today.
The deceased soldier's remains are undergoing DNA
testing at Dover Air Force Base, Del., Abel said. The unidentified
U.S. soldier's duty status is listed, for now, as whereabouts unknown,
he said, along with the three missing soldiers. Al Qaeda-affiliated
terrorists in Iraq have claimed to be holding the three missing
soldiers.
Meanwhile, U.S. and Iraqi security forces continue to
scour the area in search of the missing soldiers.
"By God, they're not going to stop until they find
their fallen comrades," Army Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, 3rd Infantry
Division commander, said yesterday from Baghdad during a telephone
interview with reporters.
A reporter asked for Lynch's reaction in regard to
reports that al Qaeda has placed statements on the Internet telling
U.S. forces to cease the search for the missing soldiers.
"I give no credence in what al Qaeda and al
Qaeda-associated members decide to put on the Internet or what they
decide to announce to the world," Lynch said. "We're not
going to stop looking for our soldiers until we find those soldiers.
"Whatever they put on the Internet, whatever
pronouncements they make, we're not going to stop. We will not leave
our fallen comrades," the two-star general emphasized.

Insurgents Claim To Hold U.S. Soldiers
POSTED: 8:19 am EDT May 13, 2007
UPDATED: 8:43 am EDT May 13, 2007
BAGHDAD -- An al-Qaida front group says it has
captured U.S. soldiers in the attack that killed five and left three
missing.
The claim by the front group was posted on several web sites that have been used in the past to post reliable information from terrorist groups. But a spokesperson for the U.S. military said on Sunday morning that they have not verified the claim. It is also not clear if the group is claiming to have all three of the missing soldiers. The U.S. said Saturday that three soldiers were missing and five people were dead and after a pre-dawn attack near Mahmoudiya. .... |
