but no one has come up with a name, or any info on this uncle.

I saw the uncle's name yesterday after following a link from FR. I'm trying to find it in my history. But the uncle's name was "_________ Moustaffa" or similar.

Found it! Here you go

Michael Berg also told AP that Nicholas' paternal aunt, now deceased, married an Iraqi man named Mudhaffar, who became close to Nicholas. In one of the emails, Nicholas Berg describes going to the northern city of Mosul, where he had met Mudhaffar's brother, identified as Muwaffaq Mustafa.

"We got along splendidly," Berg wrote. "We spent a few hours and I helped him establish an email account."

Berg notes that "my presence ... made him more concerned (about his own safety and probably mine too) than I've been the entire time I've been here."
