Remains of 2 U.S. Contractors Recovered in Iraq.The remains of kidnapped contractor John Roy Young of Kansas City have been recovered in Iraq, along with those of another contractor, the FBI said Monday.
Young was one of five security contractors with Kuwait-based Crescent Security kidnapped after their trucking convoy was ambushed in southern Iraq in November 2006. Young was 44 at the time.
The FBI identified the other contractor whose remains have been recovered as Ronald Withrow of Roaring Springs, Texas. Withrow, a contractor with JPI Worldwide, was kidnapped in January 2007.
Earlier this month, U.S. officials said U.S. authorities in Baghdad had received five severed fingers belonging to Withrow and the four other contractors abducted along with Young: Jonathan Cote of Gainesville, Fla.; Joshua Munns of Redding, Calif.; Paul Johnson Reuben of Buffalo, Minn.; Bert Nussbaumer of Vienna, Austria.
The FBI said it had notified the families of Young and Withrow.
Prayers & well wishes go out to the family and friends of the murdered & kidnapped men. I'm sure code pinko will protest the AQI barbarians who did this crime.
