 This will remain as a featured article at the top of the front page in remembrance to Ahmed, who is still missing in Iraq. As a fellow soldier, we leave no one behind.
 Army Times -- An American soldier missing in Iraq since late October probably was captured by the enemy, the Pentagon said Thursday, making official what the U.S. military there has suggested for more than a month.
Ahmed K. Altaie, a 41-year-old Iraqi-born resident of Ann Arbor, Mich., was snatched off the street while he was visiting his Iraqi wife in Baghdad on Oct. 23.  
U.S. forces have conducted raids in portions of Sadr City searching for Altaie, who worked as a translator. The U.S. government has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to his recovery.
He initially was listed as “whereabouts unknown,” but the military generally reviews such cases to rule out all other possibilities, including being absent without leave. He is now considered “missing-captured.”
In Altaie’s case, the Mahdi Army is believed to have grabbed him, as well as dozens of people during a raid on a Ministry of Higher Education office in Baghdad on Nov. 14. The ministry is predominantly Sunni Arab. |

 Seventeen-year-old Jeffrey Nguyen of Swatara Twp. received an
appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., early this
month.
Since his father, Hung T. Nguyen, had once been a student in the
South Vietnamese equivalent of the naval academy, it seemed to ring with
family history. But the elder Nguyen says his son's accomplishment is
greater.
Photo: Central Dauphin East senior Jeff Nguyen, 17, left,
has been admitted to the United States Naval Academy. His father, Hung
Nguyen, attended the South Vietnam naval academy before North Vietnam
took over and he had to flee the country.
Hung Nguyen's service to his country came during the Vietnam War,
before the fall of Saigon and his eventual emigration to the United
States. At the time, military service in South Vietnam was mandatory for
men of his age.

ABC World News -- Iran's role with the violence in Iraq remains a major preoccupation of
the Bush administration, with the U.S. military now building a base,
practically within shouting distance of Iran — an extraordinary step to
curb what it says is the smuggling of advanced weapons into Iraq.
It will be called Combat Outpost Shocker, and it will hardly come as a
pleasant surprise to Iran that the United States will have a new base
just 5 miles from their border. Col. Mark Mueller, of the 3rd Infantry
Division, said it is the first time the U.S. military will be that
close to Iran.

SAN BENITO — Army Pfc. Adriana Alvarez entered the military fresh
out of high school, hoping it would pave the way to a criminal justice
career.
She was deployed to Iraq in August and, true to her goal, was
serving in the military police. She kept in touch with e-mails and
phone calls from Baghdad to her San Benito home, last calling her
mother and three sisters on Monday. 
Wednesday night, officials told the family that Alvarez had been
found dead that morning. She had only recently turned 20. Alvarez, who
was with the 504th Military Police Battalion, 42nd Military Police
Brigade, died of injuries sustained while supporting combat operations,
according to the U.S. Defense Department. |
