John Adam (hoax)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Adam is the name given by Islamic militants of a U.S. soldier that they claimed to have captured. A statement signed by the "Mujahedeen Brigades" claiming that they had captured "American military man John Adam" was posted on a Web site used by Islamic militants in January 2005, with a photo purporting to be Adam sitting with his hands tied behind his back with a rifle pointed at him.
The U.S. military stated that no soldiers had been reported missing in Iraq, and a spokesperson for the American toy manufacturer Dragon Models USA, Inc. stated that the figure in the photo actually appears to be one of the "Special Ops Cody" action figures they manufacture, and the rifle pointed at "Adam" was one of the accessories that comes with the toy.
