---------------------------------------------------------

despite a video from an al-Qaida-linked group that claimed to have
killed the men The U.S. military in Iraq says it is continuing to
search for two missing soldiers, despite a video from an
al-Qaida-linked group that claimed to have killed the men.

Military spokesman Brigadier General Kevin Bergner said Monday that
the video did not contain any definitive evidence about the status of
the soldiers.

The video posted on the Internet by the "Islamic State in Iraq" group
showed the military identity cards of the two missing soldiers.

The group claimed it had killed all three U.S. soldiers it captured
during an attack south of Baghdad last month.

The body of the third soldier was found in a canal two weeks ago.

In new violence, Iraqi police say they shot and killed a female
suicide bomber as she approached a police recruitment center in
eastern Baghdad Tuesday.

Separately, the U.S. military says coalition forces detained four
suspected terrorists during raids in northeast Baghdad.

Some information for this report was provided by AFP and Reuters.
