From Rusty at The Jawa Report, a video posted on a Shiite Islamist website has emerged of an American soldier, Spc. Ahmed K. Altaie, being held hostage.

Altaie was born in Iraq but immigrated to the United States. Even though he was much older than the average U.S. serviceman, he volunteered right after the Iraq war broke out. He felt it was his duty to help the effort and his native language skills were much needed. Not only that, but here was a chance to serve both his adopted country and the country of his birth.
Pray for his safe release.
Please everyone pray for him.

I wish this story was getting more press…. of course, the media would actually have to care about our soldiers, which we all know-sadly enough, they don’t.
