BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. forces on Tuesday airlifted to Germany the sole survivor of an attack on an American humanitarian mission that killed her four fellow Christian missionaries Monday evening. The team was in northern Iraq to plan a water-purification project and "share God's love with the Iraqi people." [...]

Iraqi Police, FBI agents and the senior American military command in northern Iraq, Task Force Olympia, were investigating the Christians' killings, said Lt. Col. Joseph Piek, a U.S. Army spokesman in Mosul. [...]

"These deliberate attacks show a total disregard for innocent human life," said Army Brig. Gen. Carter F. Ham, the commander of Task Force Olympia. "Killing and injuring innocent Iraqi citizens shows the murderous and cynical intent of terrorists to undermine freedom and progress in Iraq."
