BAGHDAD, Nov 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Saturday it was offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of a U.S. soldier who was kidnapped nearly three weeks ago in Baghdad.

Ahmed Kousay Altaie, a U.S. army translator of Iraqi descent, was kidnapped on Oct. 23 when he went to visit relatives, including his Iraqi wife, in Baghdad.

"The coalition will pay up to $50,000 reward to anyone who provides information that leads to the recovery of Specialist Altaie," said a U.S. military statement.
