Some US soldiers captured by Iraqis: Pentagon


Pentagon confirmed Sunday that about ten US soldiers missing in the invasion of Iraq have been captured as prisoners by Iraqis.

US Central Command now was investigating reports that some US soldiers were missing in the operations, Richard Myers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the "Fox News Sunday" program.

"They are trying to account for the soldiers that are reported missing, and beyond that we don't know," Myers said when asked about the reports from Iraq.

Earlier, the Arab satellite station Al-Jazeera aired footage from Iraqi television of interviews with what the station identified as captured American prisoners, and also broadcast scenes of American bodies in uniform in an Iraqi morgue.
