Apparently, not that important

BAGHDAD, Iraq, June 17 — American soldiers on Saturday went house to house, scanned the streets from helicopters and dove into irrigation canals to try to find two of their comrades who had been reported captured by insurgents in an ambush south of the capital.

Iraqi soldiers detained a man near the scene of a bomb attack at a market in central Baghdad Saturday, one of seven attacks in the capital.

The two Americans, who were not identified, were taken prisoner at dusk on Friday by a group of masked guerrillas who mounted a surprise attack on their Humvee near Yusufiya, a town that is a stronghold of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, Iraqis in the area said.

Just seems a bit odd that this has not made the Breaking News topic.
