Gunmen shoot Baghdad 'caterers'

17 January 2006

Gunmen dressed as Iraqi police have shot dead seven men who were apparently working for a catering firm supplying security forces in Baghdad.

The killers reportedly attacked after arriving in two cars outside a large private house where the men worked in the central business district.

Reports suggest that silencers were used in the attack.

The workers are believed to have been involved in a business that supplied food for the Iraqi National Guard.

They got silencers, the war is totally lost now.

You could take an eye out with one of those things.

8. Is KBR the caterer?

They were supplying food to the U.S. troops. The article does not identify the caterer. Does anyone know?

9. Well, there was that odd thing about barbers previously

I never could quite figure that out.

This could be a cover story for something else, also. Be on the lookout for dots to connect, just in case.
