Iraqi guerrillas paraded a captive U.S. soldier Friday, while President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair vowed to stamp out all violence in Iraq. Arabic television station Al Jazeera broadcast a videotape that appeared to show a U.S. soldier held by masked guerrillas after being captured in an attack on a convoy last week. The man identified himself as Keith Matthew Maupin, apparently one of two U.S. soldiers reported missing this month amid a spate of kidnappings that has snared foreign civilians from more than a dozen countries.
The U.S. military has lost at least 92 soldiers in combat so far this month, more than the total killed in the three-week war that toppled Saddam. Doctors say more than 600 Iraqis have been killed in the Sunni town of Falluja, where U.S. Marines began an assault after the killing and mutilation of four U.S. private security guards in the city. |
