(TFO press release)

MOSUL, IRAQ (June 21, 2004) – Four Iraqi citizens were killed at approximately 9:35 a.m. when a roadside bomb exploded on their convoy approximately 50 kilometers south of Mosul. Three other Iraqi citizens in the same convoy were wounded. All three wounded Iraqis have been evacuated to a military hospital in Mosul.

The Iraqis were employed by a private company working in Northern Iraq. This is yet another example of Anti-Iraq forces attacking Iraqi citizens who are working to improve conditions for their families and all of Iraq. The terrorists have no regard for innocent lives in their attacks on the country. Anti-Iraq forces directly oppose the success of a democratic and free Iraq, and are continuing to kill and wound Iraqi citizens as the country moves closer to sovereignty on June 30.
