Missing Soldier Believed Alive, U.S. Says

Missing Soldier Believed Alive, U.S. Says: "A senior U.S. military spokesman said Thursday that an Iraqi American soldier kidnapped in Baghdad 10 days ago was believed to be alive and in the hands of his original captors.

Army Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell identified the soldier as 41-year-old reservist Ahmed Qusai al-Taayie and said that Taayie was visiting his in-laws and his wife on Oct. 23, the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, when he was abducted by three carloads of armed men. Since then, the military has conducted intensive searches for the soldier, who moved to the United States as a teenager and returned to Iraq as a translator in the U.S. Army Reserve in November 2005, Caldwell said."
