Webloggin » Four Kidnapped Contractors Still Missing

As you celebrate the new year, do not forget about the four American security contractors and an Austrian who remain in captivity after their kidnapping in southern, Iraq six weeks ago.

The men went missing Nov. 16 when a large convoy of trucks being escorted by their Crescent Security Group was hijacked on a highway near Safwan, a city on the border with Kuwait.

Suspected militiamen dressed in Iraqi police uniforms ambushed the convoy, taking 14 hostages, including the five security guards, and nine truck drivers who were later released.

“At this time, U.S. officials believe the American citizens are still being held by their captors,” said Lou Fintor, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. source

Let us not forget our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines around the globe, their families and their sacrifices. Don’t forget to pray for this new year, pray for our politicians new and old. Pray they will understand the threats against America and act appropriately.

Pray for God’s guidance in all we do as individuals and as a nation.
