American Contractor Kidnapped in Basra Identified

Mark Koscielski at Save5.net has posted an ad he received from an Iraqi newspaper that shows the 5 kidnapped Crescent Security contractors, as well as a previously-unidentified American kidnapped Jan. 5, 2007 in Basra. Ronald Withrow is believed to be the American abducted at a phony checkpoint along with two Iraqi translators who were found murdered the next day. There is no date on the ad which was sent to Save5, and no information available on Ronald Withrow yet. If he is indeed the kidnapped contractor, we pray fervently for his safety and that of the other hostages, who have been missing since Nov. 2006.
