RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)--Four Southern Baptist missionaries killed in Iraq were remembered as ``people who just had a great heart for helping people out.''

Unidentified assailants attacked a car with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades Monday, killing the missionaries who were trying to find a way to provide clean water in the northern city of Mosul.

Three people were killed in the attack and a fourth died Tuesday morning en route to a military support hospital, the Richmond, Va.-based Southern Baptist International Mission Board said. A fifth person was in critical condition.

The board identified the dead as Larry T. Elliott, 60, and Jean Dover Elliott, 58, of Cary, N.C.; Karen Denise Watson, 38, of Bakersfield, Calif.; and the victim who died at the hospital, David E. McDonnall, 28, of Rowlett, Texas. His wife, Carrie Taylor McDonnall, 26, was in critical condition, the mission board reported.
