An Iraqi lawyer and his family provided the U.S. military with critical information about the whereabouts of former POW Pfc. Jessica Lynch, enabling her to be rescued, according to a report on the Marines website.

The Iraqi is being identified only as "Mohammad" for his own protection.

"I came to the hospital to visit my wife," said the man whose wife was a nurse. "I could see much more security than normal."

Mohammad says he asked one of the doctors why the hospital had increased security.

"He told me there was a woman American soldier there," Mohammad said.

He says he then went looking for the American, who was in the hospital suffering from two broken legs and a broken arm, injuries presumably suffered during a firefight preceding her capture on March 23. Peering through the window of her hospital room, he witnessed an Iraqi colonel slapping Lynch.

"My heart stopped," Mohammad said. "I knew then I must help her be saved. I decided I must go to tell the Americans."

Mohammad, a Nasiryah resident, walked 10 kilometers to inform U.S. Marines that the 19-year-old woman was being held in the town's Saddam Hussein Hospital.

He says he approached a U.S. checkpoint with his hands high in the air.

"[A Marine sentry] asked, 'What you want?' " Mohammad said. "I want to help you. I want to tell you important information ? about Jessica!"

According to the report, the Marines to whom Mohammad talked gave him instructions to return to the hospital and take note of the number of guards, the hospital's layout and other details.

After he went back to the hospital, Mohammad, as Lynch's captors discussed amputating her leg, leaned down to the prisoner and whispered, "Don't worry."

The Iraqi informant carefully recorded information about the hospital and the security forces guarding Lynch.

"I went to see the security," he said. "I watched where they stood, where they sat, where they ate and when they slept."

:(

I don't suppose the morons who use the term "towelhead" around here will take much note of this story. There are good people everywhere just as there are bad.

Yep! 99% of the people in the world are good people. No matter what race or creed. That man is a hero.

"A Hero named Mohammed"

Sounds just like a Hollywood movie and probably will be. I wonder who they'll get to play Mohammed - the sand ****** with a heart of gold.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

"who was in the hospital suffering from two broken legs and a broken arm, injuries presumably suffered during a firefight preceding her capture on March 23."

How does someone break two legs and an arm ? This is something that hasnt been discussed much, probably out of respect for the family, but Id have to think she was tortured some.

The news reported originally that it was originally thought they were broken by bullets when she was shot. Don't know if thats still the case

they are busy now

Apparently he's one of the "good ones".

The story going around now is that the Fedaeyn goons started to interogate her in her hospital bed and she told them in so many words to fuck off and they then went to town on her and broke her legs and arm.

He might be a hero but I bet he's a father who has daughters as well. Good people aren't hard to find. Sometimes you just have to look a little. :)

lawyers always sellin people out :1orglaugh

LOL.

God Bless him.

That is one quality individual there.

one of the BBC radio programs I was listening to this morning said that his wife was a nurse at the hospital and she tipped him off. I don't know if that is true but if it is then she is a heroine. Now, lets make sure they are away from danger.
