From CNN...

On a road between Ramadi and Falluja, west of Baghdad, gunmen kidnapped 15 Iraqi Olympic Tae Kwon Do players who were riding a bus back from Jordan where they had been on vacation, an official with the Iraqi Olympic Committee said.

I saw a blurb about this while on vacation.

I pray for the safe return of these athletes to their families and the end of hostility in their country.

I am not even going to talk about how horrible this is. I don't find this kind of thing acceptable, my heart goes out to the athletes and certainly their families.
