US, Iraqi Forces Search for German Hostages

US and Iraqi troops went house-to-house Sunday night looking for kidnapped Germans Hannelore Krause and her 20-year-old son Sinan al-Tornachi. Unfortunately, they came up empty-handed.

Mrs. Krause, who is married to an Iraqi physician, and her son were kidnapped in February by the "Arrows of Righteousness Brigade", who released a video of the pair weeping and begging for their lives. The brave "resistance fighters" threatened to kill the hostages if Germany did not withdraw its 3000 troops from Afghanistan.

An Iraqi spokesman sounded an optimistic note:

"We hope that they can be freed soon so that their suffering will find an end," the army spokesman said about the two who were seized by kidnappers in Baghdad on February 6.

Let's hope to God that the good guys are successful and that the "Arrows of Righteousness" are the ones who will be weeping and begging for their wretched lives.
