An Indonesian engineer and two Iraqis have been killed, and a Filipino engineer wounded, after their convoy was ambushed in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. The foreigners were employed by German company, Siemens, and were working on setting up a local mobile telephone network. Siemens won a $US8.6 million contract earlier this year to provide equipment to mobile operator, Asia Cell, to develop the GSM network in northern Iraq. In June, the company withdrew all its German employees from Iraq for security reasons. |
