Spokeswoman for the Red Cross Rana Sidani said she had no information about Mikulic. It is also not known whether Mikulic had sent a letter or a note to his family in Capljina, she said.
The spokeswoman said that representatives of the Red Cross were visiting camps and prisons in Iraq every six to eight weeks, including the Bucca camp where Mikulic was detained.
Following speculation that Mikulic was detained at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad for video-taping U.S. military bases and routes he was passing with his truck, the Croatian Foreign Ministry and the U.S. Embassy in Zagreb confirmed on Friday that Mikulic was "alive and well" in the Bucca camp near Umm Qasr in southern Iraq, where U.S. forces keep foreign nationals.
The Croatian truck driver was detained by U.S. forces about a month ago for "allegedly collecting vehicle information and personal identification information beyond what is considered of general interest to tourists," the U.S. Embassy said.
