Report: Missing U.S. soldier rescued in Afghan Jul 3, 2005, 15:19 GMT Printer Friendly Pageprinter friendly Email this article to a friendemail this article Access M&C's RSS Feeds

Kabul - One member of a group of U.S. soldiers missing for nearly a week in north-eastern Afghanistan was rescued, the U.S. broadcaster CNN reported Sunday, citing U.S. military sources.

The report stated that the circumstances of the rescue were not disclosed in consideration of the ongoing effort.

The group of soldiers went missing in east of the mountainous Kunar province during a reconnaissance mission in which U.S. military encountered heavy fighting with Afghan rebels.

In the same mission, a helicopter sent in as backup for the U.S. forces was shot down, killing all 16 persons on board.

Meanwhile, unknown gunmen on Sunday in Afghanistan's southern province of Kandahar shot a cleric Mawlavi Mohammad Musba, who later died of his wounds at a U.S. military hospital, officials said.

According to Mohammad Ayub Salangi, a senior police officer in Kandahar, Musba - a member of the province's religious council - was shot by two men in Dand district of Kandahar, while he was on his way home late Sunday morning.

No one has claimed responsibility for the incident, but Afghan officials in the past have blamed rebels with the former ruling Taliban for similar acts.

All day today, Fox is running tapes of our military sending Fourth of July messages home to their folks.

Just a while ago, an army man in full gear sent love to his family stateside.

When he was done, he paused, then added in a low, firm, proud voice, "We are soldiers."

Two hanky job for me.

Thank you, Fox, for your patriotic efforts today.

God bless our brave troops and especially, protect the special forces guys still missing in dangerous Afghanistani territory.

Foxnews Gibson has Gen Scales on talking about this .....says that second report of a wounded American in a home should be discounted because of the history of the source of the report!
