The body of the reporter, Steven Vincent, from New York, was found this morning. He had been dumped
outdoors after being shot several times, and his hands were tied with a plastic wire, and a red piece
of cloth was wrapped around his neck. He and his translator, sportd al-Khal, were kidnapped on Tuesday
evening in downtown Basra by masked gunman in a pick-up truck as they left a moneychanger’s shop near
Mr. Vincent’s hotel, police officials said.
The gunmen may have been in a police vehicle, The Associated Press reported, citing a police official
in Basra.
Seems the recent upsurge of Bizarro World behavior is proving infectious… reports the AP:
“…MBT SHOESi legislators accused Kuwait of stealing their oil as well as chipping away at their
national territory on the border — allegations similar to those used by Saddam Hussein to justify his
invasion of Kuwait that began 15 years ago Tuesday.
