From Times Wire Reports
American investigators in Iraq have found what may be a clue to the only American missing from the 1991 Persian Gulf War: the initials of Navy pilot Michael Scott Speicher, etched into a prison wall in Baghdad.
It is unknown who scrawled the letters “MSS” into a cell wall in the Hakmiyah prison, said U.S. officials, or whether the letters had anything to do with the missing pilot.
But the officials said an informant had also reported that an American pilot was held at that prison in the mid-1990s.
