Search For Missing Minnesotan In Iraq Continues
Baghdad, Iraq (AP) ―
British and Iraqi forces raided homes in southern Iraq on Monday and arrested four suspects in the kidnapping of four American security guards, including one from Minnesota, and their Austrian co-worker, an official said.
The raid, which began late Sunday and ended early Monday morning, took place in Zubair, a mostly Sunni-Arab enclave about 20 miles south of Basra, Capt. Tane Dunlop, the British military spokesman, told The Associated Press.
Most of Britain's 7,200 soldiers in Iraq are based in the city. The raid failed to find any of the hostages.
Former St. Louis Park, Minn. police officer Paul Reuben has been identified as one of four American security contractors taken hostage.
