Franks: Six Missing U.S. Troops Found
.c The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Coalition forces have found six U.S. troops previously classified as missing, Gen. Tommy Franks, the war's overall commander said Sunday. The six appear to be healthy.
Franks said he had been reluctant to release the information because he was unsure whether the six were among five listed as missing or seven listed as POWs.
``They appear to be healthy,'' Franks told ABC News.
Pentagon officials have committed to tracking down 12 soldiers still missing or captured since the spectacular rescue of Pfc. Jessica Lynch on April 1, but until Franks' revelation, there appeared to be no leads.
