Individuals MissingThis 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.

CBS7 News -- HILLSBORO Investigators in Hill County are still trying to piece together the motives behind the fatal shooting of an Army soldier by an Odessa woman in what Hill County Sheriff Jeffrey Lyon called “a tragic accident.”

Lyon said 24-year-old April Danielle Thompson was charged with manslaughter after police accused her of firing a gun and fatally wounding 20-year-old Army Pvt. Cody Patterson early Saturday in his home in Blum, about 40 miles north of Waco. Lyon said investigators did not find any evidence to suggest the homicide was premeditated and deliberate, though they accused Thompson of running from Patterson’s home after the shooting and fleeing 30 miles away to Glen Rose.

The Brown and White -- Janelle Pham, a graduate student who went to Iraq as a member of the Military Police Corps, shared her experiences as a prison guard personally responsible for prisoners of war in Iraq on Sept. 30 at Packer House.

Pham said she always saw herself joining the reserves. She often played with G.I. Joes as a child, which only further motivated her desire to be in the reserves.

"It just seemed natural that I'd one day end up in the reserves. Our freedoms don't come for free, and I'm happy to serve for all of you," Pham said.

While an undergraduate at Moravian College, Pham was a member of the ROTC program at Lehigh.
