(Agencies)
Updated: 2004-11-02 20:28 Insurgents have
captured an American soldier in the city of Samarra, north of Baghdad, an Iraqi
police spokesman said Tuesday.
Lt. Col. Mohammed Ahmed of Samarra police told
reporters the soldier had been seized Monday night by gunmen in two Opel cars.
He said U.S. troops were out in force in the streets of the Sunni Muslim city
Tuesday.
A U.S. military spokesman said he had no information on the incident. Ahmed
said the Americans had alerted Iraqi security forces and asked them to look out
for the missing soldier.
U.S. and Iraqi forces stormed Samarra, 62 miles north of Baghdad, in early
October as part of the U.S.-backed interim government's campaign to retake rebel
areas before national elections scheduled for January..
