7 more POW's rescued

Just announced this morning that 7 POW'S were found and rescued by Coalition Forces. More importantly, an Iraqi told the Marines where there were some POWs. What great news for a Palm Sunday.<br><br>Dave

Re:7 more POW's rescued

Have they said how it went? Did they get much of a fight or capture any of the leaders holding them?

Here'as a link to MSNBC.com

The story reports that their guard's COs had "Bugged Out" when the US troops showed up, so the guards brought the POWs to the Troops.

They report that Sadam's guy in charge of his Nukes program is in custody.

Re:7 more POW's rescued

I'm just glad they found them. Anyone know what the numbers are now in terms of missing? I don't think there are officially any POW's left, but I'm not sure. Can't find anything out there that has the current numbers.
