BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraqi witnesses say they saw two U.S. soldiers who survived an attack at a checkpoint near Baghdad being led away by masked insurgents to a pair of cars, The New York Times is reporting in its Sunday edition.
"There are intelligence indicators [that] they may have been captured alive rather than killed," a senior military official told CNN on Saturday night.
One U.S. soldier was killed in the attack, and a massive search was under way Saturday for the two who are unaccounted for.
The paper cited Iraqis in the area, who were interviewed by telephone from Baghdad, as saying the attack appeared to have been intended to lure some soldiers away and separate the force.
Talk about being in a terrifying situation. I couldnt imagine being lost in the wrong part of town here, let alone taken captive by a group of insurgents who hated everything you stood for. Gotta send a special shout out to those who are missing this evening...you are in my thoughts as I pray tonight.
