Marines searching for holdout guerrillas in Fallujah yesterday discovered the mutilated body of a blond woman lying in the street under a blood-soaked cloth — and officials believe it could be one of two Western women kidnapped last month.
The body could not be immediately identified, but Margaret Hassan, 59, a Briton who runs Iraq’s division of CARE International, and Polish-born Teresa Borcz Khalifa, 54, are the only kidnapped women who remain unaccounted for.
Sam at Hammorabi reports in more detail on that find (graphic description warning) and others. AP reports they also found bomb-making factories and have rescued two hostages, one Iraqi, and the Syrian driver for the French reporters. The Iraqi hostage said that his captors were Syrian (which makes me wonder a bit about that Syrian driver…).
