line is busy. I attempted to locate your son without success. If I can
locate him, I will ask him to call so you know his situation.

- I have confirmed that your son, Nick, is being detained
by the U.S. military in Mosul. He is safe. He was picked up approximately
one week ago. We will try to obtain additional information regarding his
detention and a contact person you can communicate with directly.

military or FBI here in Iraq who you can contact directly with your questions.

to try.
