BAGHDAD, June 16 (Reuters) - U.S. troops found the identity cards of two U.S. soldiers missing for nearly a month in a raid on an al Qaeda safe house north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said in a statement.

The raid took place on June 9, the military said. The cards belonged to Specialist Alex Jimenez and Private Bryon Fouty. Jimenez and Fouty were abducted along with a third soldier, whose body has since been found, after an attack on their patrol south of Baghdad on May 12.

The U.S. military has launched a massive hunt to find the two missing soldiers. Al Qaeda has said it killed all three.
