The body of Alex R. Jimenez, a Dominican-American soldier from Lawrence, Mass., has been found in Iraq. The announcement brings a year-long family ordeal to an end. Jimenez and two other soldiers disappeared on 12 May 2007 while patrolling an area 30 kilometers outside of Baghdad. In the days following Jimenez's disappearance, an Al-Qaeda affiliated organization released a video claiming that they did in fact have the soldiers in their custody, displaying their military identity cards and such, but no sign of the soldiers themselves appeared in the video. US military forces sent out a search unit consisting of 4,000 troops, but no trace was found of Jimenez or the other soldiers. Ramirez, an Army specialist with the Second Brigade of the 10th Mountain Division was 25 years old at the time of his disappearance. The city of Lawrence and the Dominican community have supported Jimenez's family through the ordeal.
