Body of missing Soldier found in Iraq

Military Confirms Identity of Murdered
Soldier, Denies Reports of Second Body

BAGHDAD —  The U.S. military on Thursday announced that a body pulled out a river south of Baghdad belonged to Pfc. Joseph Anzack Jr., one of three soldiers missing since an ambush on their unit nearly two weeks ago.

"We can confirm that we have recovered the remains of Pfc. Anzack," said Lt. Col. Josslyn Aberle, a military spokeswoman.

Aberle denied reports that a second set of remains had been found and was being examined to determine if they belonged to another of the missing soldiers.

"The reports of a second set of remains being found is a false report," she said.

Anzack, 20, was one of three soldiers who vanished after their combat team was ambushed May 12 about 20 miles outside of Baghdad. Five others, including an Iraqi, were killed in the ambush, subsequently claimed by Al Qaeda. ...

AP, CNN, and the NYT all picked up basically the same story at about the same time FOX did.
