"We're not going to comment on what al-Jazeera is saying," said Lieutenant Corporal T.V. Johnson. "When we have more information on his status, which is proven, we'll release it." There was some confusion over the statement this morning, with one media outlet interpreting it differently. The Associated Press reported the group said it was holding Cpl Hassoun, but that he was safe at a location it did not identify. Yesterday, the Al-Qaeda-linked Ansar al-Sunna group denied a statement issued in its name and posted on the Internet a day earlier saying it had executed Cpl Hassoun... |
