The National Security Service arrested Elton Mark McCabe on Oct. 14 and a trial is scheduled for Nov. 22, the U.S. embassy said. His wife, Anne McCabe, said NSS agents abducted him and Iraqi colleague, Mohamed Oglah, and demanded a ransom after falsely accusing him of kidnapping. âThey said if he came up with $100,000 he could be on a plane the same day,â she said by phone yesterday from Slidell, Louisiana. âHe was beaten, but he wouldnât go into detail about what they did to him.â At least a third of the prison population in South Sudan, which became Africaâs newest state when it seceded from Sudan in July, 2011, hasnât been convicted of a crime or even charged, New York-based Human Rights Watch said in a report. The U.S. embassy said it had raised McCabeâs case at the highest levels of South Sudanâs government, according to statement e-mailed yesterday. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-...-about-south-sudan-detention-of-american.html
