Seven civilians working for Pentagon contractor Halliburton Co. were killed when rebels fired explosives into a dining tent at an American Army base in Mosul.
Houston-based Halliburton issued a statement saying it was “deeply saddened” by the deaths of four employees of subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root and three subcontractors.
“There is no road map for coping with events like this and we are doing everything we can to support our KBR personnel in Mosul,” the e-mailed statement said. The deaths today raised to 62 the number of Halliburton workers and subcontractors killed in Iraq and neighboring Kuwait, a staging area for American forces in the war on terror.
