A video grab image shows what appears to be a uniformed American soldier being held captive by insurgents in Iraq April 16, 2004. In the tape the man identified himself as Keith Matthew Maupin -- one of two US soldiers reported missing this month. The US military in Iraq received a copy of the videotape, and the Arabic television station Al Jazeera aired the poor-quality tape. The tape showed a white male dressed in military fatigues sitting on the floor surrounded by masked gunmen. [Reuters]
