Individuals MissingArmy 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.

I think about the night you went missing and wish it was a dream. You are a good man and the best interpreter anyone could have out there. Be at peace.

You are my dearest friend, my ex -husband, it is close to 18 months April 23,08 you are still missing.

Not once have I or your family given up hope you are alive.
We will keep faith in god until we see you once again, habibi.
I cry everyday and miss you so ,so much you can't imagine the mental pain and torture this has put us all through.
Not knowing...just waiting day after day each phone call that rings hoping of news...
Ahmed Kousay Altaie you once said to me "when I die I wan't to be buried next to you," I remember these words and would not want to be anywhere in this life without you in my heart,you will always be,and know the last 18 months have been hell on earth for you and me and your family and friends.
I have looked over your parents and will continue my loyalty forever to them whether you re-married or not.
No one will ever replace our friendship and love and mutual respect as a brother and sister's love can't be described.
In Shallah we will wait for your return.
I wish by a miracle whoever kidnapped you or knows where you are would come forth, you are missed beyond words and you put your life on the line for the USA and Iraq trying to bring peace to this corrupt world we have,your innocence and strength are to be admired by the entire world,as I admire you more than anyone on this earth.
