Riverbend is reporting that Raed's brother has been abducted
Prayers for Khalid...
Raed of Raed in the Middle has some very bad news. His brother Khalid of the blog Tell Me a Secret has been abducted by the new Iraqi mukhabarat.

We're all praying he'll be alright and that Allah/God gives his family the strength to make it through this.

1. This is horrible
Raed's sit has been all messed up lately. Faiza, their mom must be beside herself. They better not muck around with this kid . He's got a lot of support.

2. raed's blog says he seems to be OK
http://raedinthemiddle.blogspot.com/

My mom called me today at 7 in the morning, shouting with happiness: "Khalid is okay!". Niki and I were the last members of the family to know the "happy news". Khalid called my dad from the Iraqi mokhabarat's jail to inform us he was alive; he said he was abducted by the mukhabarat men from his university. My dad called my mom and Majed, and they informed us then.

The feelings of joyfulness in our family now would give anyone the impression that khalid has won the lottery! My mom spent the morning planning Khalid’s future, including the arrangements of his wedding party!

If your child or sibling vanishes for two days then calls from the secret service jail in any other place on earth, that would be considered a disaster and a violation of human rights…

In Iraq, however, it’s Happy News.

4. Being in a secret jail is okay only when the alternatives are torture or
death. It appears that is what Iraq has been reduced to.
