No clear news yet
The Republica newspaper reports that Sheikh Hassan al Atharii, Muqtada Sadr's spokesman, said he had no information about Enzo, which fits with my conjecture that he was taken by bandits rather than a resistance group. The Republica article also says the Italian Secret Service has heard rumours from some tribal leaders that Enzo is alive. Italian friends have warned me not to put much wieight on these rumours, as the Italian newspapers are publishing any scraps they can without proper sourcing. I've experienced this directly as some of my tentative third hand accounts have been published as fact by papers. Unfortunately the only news we have at the moment is that there is no news.
No one seems to have properly identified and arranged burial for Ghareeb's body, three days after the attack allegedly happened. As I understand a couple of people had planned to go from Baghdad to find his body yesterday but decided not to because of security concerns. Some Iraqi friends living in the area are hopefully going try and idenify his body today.

You probably already know that Al Jazeera just showed a video which shows Enzo alive. He's been kidnapped. Just have a look on Italian web sites...
