In Landstuhl, Germany, Thomas Hamill, wife Reunited
COSTELLO: I know, I yearn to ask you even more questions about those still in captivity as -- I mean did the same people take them as took Thomas Hamill? Did he see them along the way? Because evidently they must have moved many times while Thomas Hamill was in captivity.</s>BURNS: Well, you know, Hamill would not talk to reporters yesterday when he stepped out and waved. But he did make a statement saying he's thinking about and hopes the American people will direct their thoughts and prayers toward those who are still in Iraq, including those who are still missing from his convoy. But he did not give any details about that. Now, doctors who did speak with him tell us that he is concerned about them, but that he had no contact with them after that ambush. He did not know where they were. Apparently he was just kept alone, by himself, by his captors. His captors, according to the doctors, did not abuse him. He got a rifle butt in his face, in his head, from one of the attackers at the very beginning. But otherwise he was not mistreated. In fact, he was operated on during captivity, doctors say.</s>COSTELLO: Interesting. Chris Burns live on the phone from Landstuhl, Germany this morning. Thousands of acres ablaze in California. Firefighters launch an intense battle to save homes from that inferno. What a start to the fire season. Chad will have more details for you later on DAYBREAK. Plus, in the countdown to the Olympic Games, bombs in Athens today give rise to new fears. Is Athens ready for the world? We'll have a live report for you. And when should you be warned about a terrorist threat? We'll look at how authorities decide what to tell the public and which leads to work privately. It's a precarious balancing act. And a so-called silent killer is stalking kids. It's yet another reason for youngsters to fight the fat. Those stories and much more ahead in this hour of DAYBREAK.
