7 Halliburton Workers Died in Mosul Iraq Attack

The Mercury News reports: The Tuesday attack killed 22 people in all and injured 72, making it one of the deadliest attacks on American troops since the war began. The dead included 18 Americans - 14 service members and four U.S. civilian contractors - and four Iraqis, the U.S. military command in Baghdad said Wednesday. It was unclear whether the military's tally referred to the Halliburton workers.

Halliburton's subsidiary KBR manages military mess halls as the contractor responsible for feeding U.S. troops, building bases and providing other logistical support. At such dining facilities, civilian workers join the troops to eat.Link
