Praying for these soldiers and their families…as Christians this should be our first precedence. These brave men and women put their lives in harms way everyday in selfless sacrifice...

BAGHDAD — An Al Qaeda front group that claims it has captured American soldiers warned the United States on Monday to stop searching for them and suggested it attacked the U.S. convoy as revenge for the rape and murder of a local teenager last year.

The U.S. military also said for the first time it believes the three missing soldiers were abducted by Al Qaeda-linked militants after an attack that included three roadside bombs.

"What you are doing in searching for your soldiers will lead to nothing but exhaustion and headaches. Your soldiers are in our hands. If you want their safety, do not look for them," the Islamic State of Iraq said on a militant Web site.

"You should remember what you have done to our sister Abeer in the same area," the statement said, referring to five American soldiers who were charged in the rape and killing of 14-year-old Abeer Qassim al-Janabi and the killings of her parents and her younger sister last year.

Three soldiers have pleaded guilty in the case — one of the most shocking atrocities committed by U.S. troops in the Iraq war.

Three U.S. soldiers have been missing since Saturday, since a deadly attack on their convoy in Mahmoudiya, about 20 miles south of Baghdad. The attack also killed four U.S. soldiers and an Iraqi soldier, according to the military, which had described the Iraqi as an interpreter.

Meanwhile, I'm sure they're being treated according to the dictates of the Geneva Convention.

Why can't we trade the 5 who confessed to rape and murder for the three that were simply on patrol?

So you've really bought into the idea that this is about that girl?

That's just an excuse on their part to legitimize whatever atrocity they are about to commit.

I realize that.

However, if someone is going to die, it ought to be the five men
who raped a 14 year old girl and killed her and her family.
They are the ones who deserve to die...not the three poor
soldiers who were ambushed and taken away.

One doesn't have anything to do with the other.l

BAGHDAD — U.S. forces broadened their hunt Saturday for three missing comrades beyond the rural area south of Baghdad where they disappeared, and their top commander expressed optimism that at least two of them were still alive a week after their isolated outpost was ambushed.

The search for the missing soldiers involves some 4,000 troops who "will not stop searching until we find our soldiers," said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, a U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad. "We're using all available assets and continuing to assault the Al Qaeda in Iraq network," he said.
