Bodies of 2 missing soldiers are found in Iraq
"...LAWRENCE, Mass. (AP)—The father of an Army sergeant who has been missing for more than a year in Iraq said Thursday that his son's body has been found there.

Sgt. Alex Jimenez was one of three members of the 2nd Brigade of the 10th Mountain Division kidnapped during an ambush in May 2007. His father, Andy Jimenez of Lawrence, said uniformed military officials came to his home Thursday to tell him the body had been discovered.

"I have lost all hope. Oh, my God. I have lost all hope," Jimenez said upon learning his son's fate, according to the Eagle-Tribune of Lawrence.

Also seized were Pfc. Byron Fouty of Waterford, Mich., and Pfc. Joseph Anzack Jr. of Torrance, Calif. Anzack's body was found in the Euphrates River."
