Houston - A civilian affiliated with Houston-based
Halliburton has
been shot and killed today in Iraq.

Halliburton spokeswoman Wendy Hall says the
victim worked for
subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root.

Halliburton, which is the former company of
Vice President Dick
Cheney, has major contracts for reconstruction
in Iraq and
Afghanistan.

Hall declined to release the name of the victim.

She says the victim was fatally shot while
driving a vehicle, in
Baghdad, that was being escorted by military
personnel.

She says he was dead on arrival at a nearby
combat support hospital.

The worker was with K-B-R's team supporting
the Army's mail delivery.

Hall says the shooting is under investigation.

Another K-B-R worker was killed on August
fifth when a remote-control
bomb exploded under the truck he was driving
north of Tikrit.
