A cameraman for Reuters News Service, wounded more than 24 hours ago, is being held captive by U.S. forces in Iraq. Reuters, understandably, is demanding his release.
However, the military says it is "still investigating" and won't say where they are holding the Iraqi who works for Reuters.
"Reuters demands the immediate release of Haider Kadhem," Global Managing Editor David Schlesinger said. "We fail to understand what reason there can be for his continued detention more than a day after he was the innocent victim of an incident in which his colleague was killed."
Soundman Waleed Khaled was buried on Monday after he was hit several times in the head and chest while driving his car, an ordinary passenger vehicle, on the assignment in western Baghdad. Haider Kadhem was wounded in the back.
Yet another black eye for the American military forces in a conflict where FUBAR rules.
Being held in IRAN by US Forces? IRAN?
U.S Forces are holding someone in Iran? Please check your facts again. Everything in the story implies Iraq rather than Iran.
