Iraq is desperate for foreign contractors to help rebuild
Workers on a road construction project close to the Iraq city of Mosul were shot and killed yesterday, the Associated Press has confirmed.
Witnesses said the two men were killed by gunmen working on a road construction site near Mosul. A report by the Associated Press said that officials at a local hospital confirmed the killings took place at a location approximately 360km northwest of Baghdad.
Earlier in the day two government officials were killed in a separate gun attack in an eastern area of the Iraqi capital.
A report last year said that at least 938 Iraqi private contractors had been killed out of total of 1,487 contractors since the close of the War in Iraq.
