| Gunmen killed two Iraqi women working in a laundry for the U.S.-led coalition, a day after the slaying of two American coalition officials and their translator by attackers disguised as police. The two women, who were sisters, were driving home in a taxi in the southern city of Basra late Wednesday when gunmen stopped the vehicle and opened fire on them, a coalition official said. The women worked in a laundry for the U.S. company Kellogg Brown & Root, which has a contract to provide logistical services for the coalition and military, an official at the British Ministry of Defense said. |
