The story gets odd
Some details about Nick Berg are emerging that are questionable. The AP reports:
In an odd twist, it also emerged Thursday that the FBI questioned Berg in 2002 about an e-mail address traced to him that was used by an acquintance of terrorism suspect Zacarias Moussaoui . Investigators concluded that Berg had nothing to do with Moussaoui. (sic)
Though the investigation yielded nothing, it is odd. More:
It is unclear when and how Berg, a self-employed telecommunications businessman, was captured. Accounts of his detention in Mosul in late March are also conflicting.
U.S. officials insist Berg was arrested by Iraqi police for involvement in “suspicious activities.” The Mosul police chief has denied that. An April 1 e-mail from a U.S. consular official in Iraq, provided by Berg’s family, said he was being detained by the U.S. military.
