New Push to Rescue British Hostages

Iraqi troops are kicking their efforts up a notch in order to find and rescue five British hostages before the one-year anniversary of their abduction. Via The Telegraph UK:

The five men, a computer consultant and four security guards, have been held by a Shia extremist group since May 29 last year.

A dossier given to Iraqi ground commanders, who entered the Sadr City slum last week under the terms of a ceasefire agreed with the forces of Moqtada al-Sadr, the Shia cleric, contains the men's names, photographs and an intelligence briefing summarising information about their captors.

"These people are top of the list of people we're interested in finding here," said an American officer who delivered the documents to his Iraqi counterparts.


Continued prayers for the safe rescue of the 5 kidnapped men, and prayers for the protection of those brave troops searching for them.
