“Missing people’s kin feel deserted [more than 60 Americans kidnapped in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico]”
Express-News Border Bureau ^ | 06/04/2007 | Mariano Castillo

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “LAREDO — Mexican President Felipe Calderón’s offensive against drug cartels has been ticking off small victories, but progress is at a standstill for families here whose loved ones have disappeared across the border.

More than 60 U.S. citizens from Laredo have gone missing in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, in the past four years, many presumed kidnapped by drug traffickers.

Their stories grabbed the attention of politicians and the media during the peak of the violence in Nuevo Laredo, becoming the faces of the victims of the drug cartels.

Relatives formed a group — Laredo’s Missing — that became a lobbying and information clearinghouse for Americans who crossed into Mexico and never came back.”

“Former Osama bin Laden Bodyguard in Al-Arabiya TV Interview: I Love Him More Than I Love My Own Father”

SNIPPET: “The following are excerpts from an interview with Nasser Al-Bahri, aka “Abu Jandal,” former bodyguard of Osama bin Laden, which aired on Al-Arabiya TV on May 4, 2007.

Al-Bahri, who was born in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was arrested in 2001 in Yemen on suspicion of involvement in the attack on the American destroyer USS Cole, and was released after receiving amnesty from Yemen President Ali Abdallah Saleh.

The interview is followed by an August 3, 2004 interview with Al-Bahri in the London Arabic daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi. [1]
