There are an estimated 18 Americans still missing in Iraq.
The missing cover a wide range of citizens, from a civilian installing water bottling equipment to military personnel to civilian and government contractors to private security. At least four of the missing are Iraqi American - one of whom is a Staff Sargent.
The WikiLeaks Iraq War Logs (mirror site) includes a number of the earliest known incident reports for the kidnappings of most of these Americans. And, of some of the kidnapping victims, absolutely nothing is known beyond what is in these early reports.
To this day, some of the victim's identities have never been revealed to the public.
SIGACT
The incident reports at the Iraq War Logs - formally known as SIGACT or Significant Activity reports - are often brief and oblique, filed in the very first hours following an abduction. Sometimes details in the early reports are wrong - such as the age, sex or nationality of the kidnap victim. Sometimes the attention to detail is staggering. What's important to keep in mind about these reports is they are the first domino in a chain of events that - in theory - should launch US government agency resources for the recovery of the kidnapping victim. Unfortunately, response seems quite uneven as the reports below imply.
Because continued access to the WikiLeaks sites is constantly shifting, the SIGACT reports are included in full (except for one very long one which is noted). Links within the SIGACT reports are to the WikiLeaks mirror site as the primary Iraq War Logs site appears to be inaccessible at this time.
Also included below is the chart of Americans Missing in Iraq posted and mantained elsewhere on this blog. The chart includes the incident date, name, link to the SIGACT report when available, and status of those Americans known to be missing and/or held hostage in Iraq in table format.
About the Data
Data used for the chart is culled from news articles, the US Department of State annual Country Reports on Terrorism as well as the Worldwide Incidents Tracking System (WITS) of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). (Side note: the annual reports on "terrorism" do not include kidnappings due to criminal activity). There's some guesswork involved in pairing an incident as reported by the US Department of State with an entry in the Iraq War Logs.
DUSTWUN
One of the acronyms used frequently in the SIGACT reports is DUSTWUN.
Duty Status Whereabouts Unknown (DUSTWUN) is the formal designation for the casualty status of missing military personnel. The proper designation for missing civilian personnel is EAWUN (Excused Absence Whereabouts Unknown). For reasons that are unclear, DUSTWUN appears to be the only term used in the Iraq War Logs.
Last but not least, the formatting of the SIGACT reports is as found at WikiLeaks. Unfortunately, it doesn't always translate to clean html. Any discrepancies are likely my own error.

At ___ hours, after he did not arrive at ___ in the IZ, a ___ attempted to ___ him and his phone was turned off (which we are told is unusual). At ___ hours, -E ___ phoned another ___ employee and indicated that three armed men were attempting to break into her home (see below for home address). The men came into the home, indicated -___ was a traitor and worked for the ___. The ___ stated that F-___ is with usG and demanded money, gold and the AK-___ which was kept in the home (note: -___ was not seen during this event 3 he was not brought back to his house by the ___. The robbers seemed to know where to locate the weapon within the house, indicating that -___ may have told them where to find it after being abducted. The robbers also revealed information regarding the E___ pregnancy and due date, further indicating that the robbers had spoken with/taken -___). Three house ___ were also on the property and witnessed the event. The ___/robbers came and left by climbing over a ___ outside the home. It is unknown whether they left on foot or by car.
The robbers took the E___ phone. There has been no SIGINT activity on this phone (or on -E___ cell phone) since this event.
We are currently working on the discrepancy for -E___ home and ___ we have further. To (hopefully) clarify any confusion with these addresses:
We are looking at two ___.
Location ___ 3 The home of the kidnap victim, -___. The robbery described above occurred at this location.
Location ___ 3 The home of - -- ___ Party leader who controls the neighborhood where -___ lives. It is possible that -___ (victim) was taken to this location and/or the ___/robbers retreated to this location.
What we are trying to resolve: At the interview location, we were provided -E___ home address by his employer. This address is ___ District . ___, House ___. The employer, assisted by an employee familiar with these locations, pulled up a ___ photograph and pointed out -E___ (victim) home in relation to -E___ (suspect) home. This ___ photograph of the location does not match the ___ overhead identification of the address given by the employer. This discrepancy may be explained by the frequent inability of Iraqi nationals to correctly identify locations based on overhead imagery.
