COMMENTS: Few Search Options
The all-out effort by the US military in Iraq to rescue the trio of soldiers from the Tenth Mountain Division that was ambushed eleven days ago suffered a setback. CBS' Mark Strassmann reported that a corpse fished out of the River Euphrates near Musayyib, some 20 miles south of where they were attacked, appears to be one of the three. NBC's Ian Williams noted local police reports that the body was "bruised and had gunshot wounds to the head and torso." It had an identifying tattoo on one arm and was dressed in US military pants and boots. Whatever its identity, "this massive search continues." At this pace, added CBS' Strassmann, "May will be the deadliest month for US forces this year."
