3/12/2006
WASHINGTON, MAR 11 (AP): An American who was among four Christian activists kidnapped last year in Iraq has been killed, a State Department spokesman said.
The FBI verified that a body found in Iraq Friday morning was that of Tom Fox, 54, spokesman Noel Clay said. He said he had no information on the other three hostages.
Clay said additional forensics will be done in the United States. The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad is investigating, he said.
Fox's family has been notified, Clay said, and "our heartfelt condolences go out to them."
"The State Department continues to call for the unconditional release of all other hostages" in Iraq, the spokesman said.
