Iraq: US believes British hostages still alive

None

The US military believes that five Britons kidnapped last May in Baghdad are still alive, senior commander Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno said Tuesday.

 

Four security guards and a computer expert were seized May 29 by gunmen wearing police uniforms from a Finance Ministry compound in the capital. ''We track every day where we think they might be,'' said Odierno, "we have reason to think they are still alive.'' Odierno would not say what indications the Americans had that the five were still alive. (AP)
