Bodies of 2 missing US soldiers are found in Iraq
DETROIT - The bodies of two U.S. soldiers missing in Iraq for more than a year
have been found, their families said Thursday night. The military would not
immediately confirm the report.
Â
The father of Army Sgt. Alex Jimenez, of Lawrence, Mass., said the remains of
his son and another soldier, Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, of Waterford, Mich., had been
identified in Iraq.
Jimenez, 25, and Fouty, 19, were kidnapped along with a third member of the 2nd
Brigade of the 10th Mountain Division during an ambush in May 2007. The body of
the third seized soldier, Pfc. Joseph Anzack Jr. of Torrance, Calif., was found
in the Euphrates River a year later.
Jimenez's father, Ramon "Andy" Jimenez, said uniformed military officials came
to his home in Lawrence on Thursday to tell him the body of his son and some of
his son's personal effects had been discovered. Fouty's stepfather, Gordon
Dibler, said military officials came to his Oxford home Thursday to break the
news.
