On the fate of the two American soldiers

News reports were contradictory on Monday over the fate of two American soldiers that al-Jihad al-Qaida organization in Iraq claimed to have kidnapped in west Iraq.

In a statement issued on the Internet, the organization said it executed the two American soldiers but the American army denied earlier the kidnapping of two of its marines at the hand of al-Qaida organization.

In another development, one American remote control reconnaissance plane, crashed on Monday in Falluja, west of Iraq.

One Iraqi security source said that the plane collided with one house. American forces arrived in the place and besieged it and removed the remains of the plane.
