"Abdul Hamid," the American traitor who survived the Kala-i-Jangi uprising, has been identified as by his parents as John Phillip Walker Lindh, 20, of Northern California. Marilyn Walker describes her son as a "sweet, shy, kid," who had wanted to work with poor people and perhaps go into medicine. The photo of her son that appeared on Newsweek.MSNBC.com was the first indication that she had of his whereabouts since he left a religious school, or Madrassah, in Pakistan’s Northwest Frontier Province, where he had been studying the Quran, seven months earlier.
He is reportedly now in custody of US Special Forces, receiving medical treatment and hopefully "falling down" every twenty minutes or so. |
