CHRISTIAN MINISTRY ASKS IF TOWN IS BEING "HELD HOSTAGE"
OVER CANCELLED PRAYER MEETING FOR AMERICAN HOSTAGE?
The town of LaPorte, Ind. is still waiting for word about one of its own: contractor Jeffrey Ake who was kidnaped at a construction site in Baghdad around midday last Monday.
And after the unexplained cancellation of a LaPorte Friday evening prayer vigil for Ake (www.lpchamber.com), a writer on one Christian ministry Internet site is asking whether the town is being "held hostage" by Ake's captors?
Ake, who owns Equipment Express (www.equipmentexpress24.com/About%20Us/lpha-success.shtml), was in Iraq to construct a means to allow water bottles to be sold in Baghdad as part of the rebuilding effort in that country.
A feature article on Jerry Gaffney Ministries www.annointed.net reads, "Some have asked the questions, because it has been reported that the captors may have demanded that no one be contacted and no prayer go up for Jeffrey. One source has said the Muslim captors want the Christians to back off for now so they can get their ransom money."
The Associated Press (AP) reported that organizers of the candlelight vigil told reporters Friday morning that the vigil planned that night in a city park was needed to show Ake's family the community is behind them.
Cancellation Notice (via www.annointed.net)
But just before noon, the AP reported, the mayor's office announced the cancellation. A sign was hung on the door of City Hall which said "a statement will be made at a future date."
United Methodist Pastor David Tripp, who was one of the organizers of the prayer vigil, told WDNU TV (www.wndu.com/news/042005/news_41587.php), "The reasons (for the cancellation) are obviously very pressing and the mayor of LaPorte doesn't change plans like that without good reason."
Some area residents speculated that the cancellation, WDNU reported, was at the request of the state department, while others thought it was at the request of the family.
The gathering was being organized by the LaPorte Chamber of Commerce, the mayor's office, the Rotary Club and the town's local ministerial association.
A Supportive Sign on the LaPorte Chamber of Commerce Web Site
Gaffney, whose Internet prayer watch is ongoing, said in the same article, "Even though the prayer vigil may have been canceled, they can't stop us from praying."
Gaffney did not immediately return a telephone call or respond to an e-mail asking about the comments on his web site.
Ake was seen holding last Wed, two days after his abduction, on a videotape aired by Al-Jazeera television (http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/CBACAB0D-1FAE-4BBE-9565-A34B59144DD1.htm ).
Jeffrey Ake
The tape, Al Jazeera reported, showed Ake sitting behind a wooden desk and holding what appeared to be a passport and photo identification, as three men pointed their guns towards him. Ake pleaded with the US administration to open a dialogue with the "Iraqi resistance" and to work towards saving his life. Ake also urged American forces to leave Iraq.
Aljazeera commented that Ake's statements seemed to have been made under what it called "abnormal circumstances."
Aljazeera did not air the audio portion of the video or say how it obtained the tape.

UK: stowaway on American nuke-powered aircraft carrier
What is Abdoul Masmoud Yessoufou trying to do? "Stowaway Boarded US Carrier," From Isle of Wight County Press, with thanks to Twostellas:
Abdoul Masmoud Yessoufou, 37, whose address was given at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court on Wednesday as East Street, Newport, admitted entering a prohibited area at Portsmouth Docks.
The court was told that Yessoufou was found on the USS Harry S. Truman at the weekend after he strolled past guards and hitched a ride out to the carrier on a boat used by sailors on runs ashore.
Yessoufou had previously appeared before Uxbridge Magistrates three times this year for entering restricted zones at Heathrow. He also reached the side of an aircraft at Southampton Airport in January.
