Australian's Body Found in Iraq

Is the body of a Westerner found in the Tigris River that of an Australian said to have been abducted last week? Don't know yet, but the Aussies are looking into it. Have I mentioned that the Aussies already have sent an 'Aggressive Negotiations' team to Iraq? Oh, and Aussie Pixie Misa notes that "Yes, all [Aussie] negotiators are equipped with grenades and 50-cal sniper rifles, why do you ask?" Queensland Sunday Mail:

AUSTRALIA'S embassy in Baghdad is investigating a report that the body of a western man has been found in the Tigris River near Samarra in central Iraq.[MORE]
HT Cindy for the early report and Jeff "Treacherous Quinton Dogg" for the update.
