Fri Oct 31, 6:23 AM ET

BAGHDAD (AFP) - Iraqis Joanne and Ahda fear for their lives, after marrying US soldiers who as part of the occupation force are viewed by many as the enemy.

Joanne, 26, and her best friend Ahda, 25, now live in virtual hiding, unable even to meet with their new husbands, who are also under the threat of sanctions from the army.

The two women, who were working as interpreters for the US forces in a Baghdad hotel where they met their husbands, risk abduction and murder as "collaborators" with the US-led coalition occupying conservative Muslim Iraq.


Their husbands, a captain and sergeant from the Florida National Guard serving with the 1st Armored Division, could be charged with dereliction of duty for having reportedly got married while on foot patrol in Baghdad.
