Great news!!!
Six or seven "missing" American soldiers have been found and recovered by the Marines near Tikrit. It is uncertain at this time whether the "missing" soldiers are among those officially listed as POWs or as "Duty Status Unknown". More info will be released later in the day as details become clear. More POW/MIAs found and recovered [ 04-13-2003, 09:13 AM: Message edited by: Magness ] |

Great news [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
It is a shame I hear about it first on IW rather than the news. I guess because there are no more firework displays to show, the TV channels down here are becoming less interested in the war ![]() Back on topic, has that coloured lady from Texas who was shown by Iraq TV been found yet? The picture of her terrified eyes still haunts me.

No specifics about who they are will be made until the families of the ex-POWs are notified. We will know as soon as they do.

The 3 cable news networks are now showing photos of the 7 recovered POWs. It sure looks like the 5 from the Maintenance company and the 2 Apache pilots.
CNN had a camera crew inside the home of the parents of one of the POWs when the US Army officer showed up to notify the family. The officer was a big black guy with a smile 5 miles wide! The POWs look to be in pretty good shape, better than PFC Lynch. They were all able to walk onto the C130 that took them down to Kuwait. Oh, and BTW, the recovered POWs have had a stopover in Kuwait and FOX News is reporting that they've left Kuwait and may be on their way to Germany. |
