Kidnap And Ransom: Contractor From California Kidnapped In Iraq

   I do not know who Issa works for, but I am sure it is one of the big companies that provide linguists to the DoD. It will be interesting to hear the official statement from the DoD on this one, and it sounds like they have been kind of hush about this.  Also, if you follow the link below, they have some video on the whole thing.

   Now what would really piss me off, is if the guys that captured Issa were any of the folks recently released from detention.  Over the last year or so, Iraq has been releasing hundreds of League of the Righteous members, and it would not surprise me if the guys running this show were one of those clown shoe wearing jihadist dorks that have just gained their freedom.-Matt

Contractor

El Cajon man kidnapped in Iraq

Friday, February 5, 2010

Officials identified an El Cajon resident Friday who went missing in Iraq while working as a civilian contractor, just as video of the man was released by his alleged abductors.

Issa Salomi, 60, went missing on Jan. 23 in Baghdad. He was working with the U.S. Forces as a civilian employee, according to the Department of Defense.

A video found on an Iraqi web site Friday showed Salomi sitting in front of a flag with what appeared to be Arabic writing on it.

In the two-minute video, Salomi details demands from his abductors, including the punishment of employees of the Blackwater company, which is accused in crimes against Iraqi citizens.

A search and recovery effort was underway to find Salomi, the DOD said.
