Still no sign

Apparently there's still no sign of the taekwondo team that was kidnapped in Irak two months ago.

Story:
Two months after 17 men were abducted, relatives watch the morgue and grasp at clues, however flimsy the source.

The athletes disappeared two months ago, as if swallowed by the desert.

In all, there were 17 men — youthful taekwondo competitors and coaches on their way to the U.S. Embassy in Amman, Jordan, hoping for visas that would land them in a Las Vegas tournament.

They were traveling in two of the taxis that negotiate one of the most dangerous stretches of road in the world: the searing desert highway between Baghdad and the border.
