Does anyone have a link or some details about the arrest in Iraq of a

U.S. citizen involved in an insurgent attack or bombing? I just barely caught it on DU - I was in a big hurry? It was about two days ago. Any ideas about how to search?

1. The thread is in LBN.

The U.S. citizen is Shawqi Omar, a former Minnesota National Guard member.

Here are three articles:

Reuters (via ABC): US judge considering plight of US prisoner in Iraq

Associated Press: U.S. Citizen May Be Handed Over to Iraqis

Washington Post: U.S. Detainee's Transfer Blocked

A Google News search for "Shawqi Omar" finds 300 articles.

2. In detention for 15 months without charges.

The Defense Dept. would not release his name. His family forced them to do so a few days ago. Another US citizen with no rights as far as the Neo Fascist Bush Regime is concerned.
