Former Iraq PoW Lynch 'to marry'

出新書當新娘 女“英雄”林奇有點忙

Former Iraq PoW Lynch 'to marry'US soldier Jessica Lynch, who was rescued by US special forces after being captured in Iraq, is to marry.

Private Lynch, 20, will marry Army Sergeant Ruben Contreras next June, his mother said.

The couple reportedly met two years ago in a fast-food restaurant in Texas, where both of them were stationed.

Private Lynch was captured along with six other US soldiers when Iraqi troops attacked her convoy near the city of Nasiriya in March.

The exact date and location of the wedding are being kept a secret.

Sgt Contreras' mother, Lisa Latorre, told a newspaper in her hometown, that she did not want the event to become a media circus.

"I want this to be a real wedding for them, not just a bunch of media storming in," Ms Latorre said.

"I'm looking forward to them finally being able to be together and happy.

"They deserve that chance. They've been through so much."

However Ms Latorre did let one detail slip; she said Private Lynch was already looking for a wedding dress.

Jessica Lynch's dramatic rescue in Iraq - after a local lawyer reportedly tipped off US forces as to her whereabouts - became one of the most celebrated and controversial events of the war.

Praised as a heroine by many, others denounced her rescue as a staged event used by Pentagon officials as a propaganda exercise.

Private Lynch, who is still recuperating from wounds sustained during her ordeal and who reportedly has no memory of the incident, recently signed a m book deal to publish an account of her capture.

The book, entitled I Am a Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Story, is out this month.

曾經在伊拉克被俘,后又被美國特種部隊成功營救的美國女兵杰西卡·林奇就要結婚了。

今年二十歲的二等兵林奇明年六月將與軍士魯賓·孔特勒拉結婚,孔特勒拉的母親說。

據(jù)說他們是兩年前在德克薩斯州的一家快餐店相識的,當時他們所屬的部隊都駐扎在那里。

今年三月,林奇和其他六名美軍士兵所在的給養(yǎng)車隊在納西里耶附近遭到了伊拉克軍隊的襲擊并不幸被俘。

林奇婚禮的確切時間和地點仍是個秘密。

孔特勒拉的母親,莉薩·拉托雷在她的家鄉(xiāng)告訴一家報紙說她不希望這件事成為媒體關注的焦點。

“我希望這對他們來說是一個真正意義上的婚禮,而不是一大群記者一股腦的涌進來?!崩欣渍f。

“我期待著他們最終能夠在一起,快快樂樂地過日子?!?/p>

“他們應該得到幸福,他們經歷了太多的磨難?!?/p>

但是,拉托雷還是透露了一點,她說林奇已經在尋覓結婚禮服了。

杰西卡·林奇的獲救充滿了戲劇色彩--伊拉克當?shù)氐囊幻蓭煱蚜制娴南侣渫嘎督o了美軍,她的這段經歷成為這場戰(zhàn)爭中最著名的也是最有爭議的事件之一。

許多人稱她為英雄,也有人公開指責說林奇的獲救就像一出舞臺戲,被五角大樓官員們用作宣傳演習。

林奇目前仍然處于戰(zhàn)后創(chuàng)傷的恢復階段,據(jù)說她已無法回憶起當時發(fā)生的事情。最近她簽訂了一份價值100萬美元的出版協(xié)議,決定出書敘述自己被俘的經歷。

這本名為《我也是一個士兵——杰西卡·林奇的故事》的新書將于本月面市。
