From the article in the Norman Transcript:
Michael Berg told the AP Nicholas' paternal aunt, now dead, married an Iraqi man named Mudafer, who became close to Nichols. In one of the emails, Nicholas Berg describs going to the northern city of Mosul, where he introduced himself to Mudafer's brother, identified as Moffak Mustaffa.
"We got along splendidly," Berg wrote. "We spent a few hours and I helped him establish an email account."
Berg notes that "my prsence ... made him more concerned (about his own safety and probably mine too) that I've been the entire time I've been here."
My comment: What is all of this about establishing email accounts -- do all these people have access to computers in Iraq?
I think they probably have those Internet cafe's in Iraq just like all over in different countries.
In fact if I recall correctly one of his friends had said he e-mailed him from an Internet cafe.
