Bodies of snatched Iraqi U.S. embassy couple found

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The bodies of an Iraqi husband
and wife who worked for the U.S. embassy in Baghdad
have been found, a U.S. official said on Sunday, and
America's top diplomat in the country vowed to hunt
their killers down.
"It is with a profound sense of sadness and regret
that we announce the loss of two locally employed
staff who were kidnapped in May and killed at the
hands of violent extremists," U.S. Ambassador to
Iraq Ryan Crocker said in a statement.
A U.S. official, who spoke on the condition on
anonymity, said the couple were Hazim Hanna and
his wife Enel Meskoni. Their identities were confirmed
through fingerprint records.
Hanna went missing first and when Meskoni went to
look for him, she was abducted as well, U.S. officials
said at the time of their disappearance.
