BAGHDAD, Sept 15, 2006 (AFP) - A US soldier has gone missing after two
others were killed in a suicide car bomb attack west of Baghdad, the
military said Friday.

"A multinational divison Baghdad soldier has been reported as Duty Status
Whereabouts Unknown (missing) following an incident reported yesterday," the
military said in a statement.

It said 30 other soldiers were wounded in the attack, two seriously, when a
suicide car bomber detonated his vehicle next to a "hardened structure" west
of Baghdad, without specifying what the structure was.

In the past two days seven US troops have been killed across Iraq, taking
the total US military death toll since the March 2003 invasion to 2,677,
according to an AFP count based on Pentagon figures.

Very sorry to read this. RIP.

While the missing individual may have been kidnapped or deserted, the terrible truth is that high explosive and fragmentation can destroy the body so thoroughly that the person simply vanishes (as happened often during WW1).

Let's hope he turns up safe and well.

Iraq seems bottom of witch's pan.
