2 German Engineers killed in Iraq

No English link yet.
German ZDF reports that two German hydraulic engineers have been attacked and killed along with two Iraqis when travelling in a car. No English link yet.
I wonder how many Iraqis will cheer that terrorists kill people who make sure that clean water is flowing in individual homes? My take is that the terrorists will not win the "hearts and souls" with these attacks. They must be quite desperate.

#3  It's a regrettable tactical shift - go after the civilian technical personnel to force them either leave or be recalled by their governments. Hopefully they'll get the bastards who did it. My condolences, TGA.

#2  I'm glad to see that at least they were armed, even if it did them no good in this situation. Being an unarmed Westerner over there is just begging for trouble.
