Two Iraqi Women Killed by Security Contractors – Two Iraqi women were killed when guards from the Australian-run private security firm, RTI International, working for the U. S. State Department, fired at the women’s white Oldsmobile. As many as 40 bullets struck the car, killing the driver and the woman in the front seat on the passenger side. A woman and a boy in the back seat survived, according to witnesses and local police officials in the Karada neighborhood, where the shooting took place on a boulevard lined with appliance stores, tea shops and money changers.
