Irving-based DynCorp International's latest losses came Wednesday, when an improvised explosive device hit a convoy en route from a regional office of the American embassy near Basra.
Killed were Richard Thomas Hickman, 52, of Cave Spring, Ga., and Roland Carroll Barvels, 42, of Aberdeen, S.D., members of DynCorp's police training mission. The attack injured another American employee and an Iraqi translator, DynCorp spokesman Gregory Lagana said Thursday.
Another officer was killed in Iraq on Monday, and the company has also lost five workers in Afghanistan since March 2003, Lagana said. But the figures pale in comparison to the worldwide deployment of company employees: 14,000 in an estimated 35 countries.
