With the help of a Southwest Airlines passenger, an Amber Alert ended Saturday morning with the rescue of two children from their mentally disturbed father, police said.

Nichole Abdul Zahir of East 113th Street told police that her husband, Muhammed S. Abdul Zahir, took their toddler and infant about 12:05 a.m. Saturday from a relative's Central Avenue home.

The alert was issued around 7 a.m., after police were able to determine that Muhammed Zahir, a custodial parent, could be a threat. Amber Alerts cannot be issued unless there is reason to believe a child might be harmed.

Zahir, 24, was seeing a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C., who told police Zahir was paranoid and delusional and was at risk to "do something dangerous." Zahir, a soldier in the Army who had returned from Iraq, was wearing desert camouflage clothes when his wife last saw him and when he was captured.

1. I Am Glad The Children

were found safe and that they were not hurt. It sounds like this soldier needs some serious counseling, hopefully uncle sam will provide it. The war contuinues for most soldiers even after they have returned home.
