Two interpreters of kidnapped US citizen found murdered
BASRA, Iraq (AFP) - Two Iraqi interpreters kidnapped along with an American citizen a day ago have been found murdered in central Basra, a spokesman for the British military has said.

The two were found murdered near a stadium with bullets in the back of their heads, Major Charlie Burbridge said.

Earlier, US embassy spokesman Louis Fintor confirmed that an American working as a private security contractor was abducted Friday from near Basra, Iraq's second largest city.

"I confirm the disappearance of the American. He is a private security contractor," Fintor told AFP.

1. I suspect the private security contractor will not be subject to Geneva Accords.
I wonder if his thousand dollars a day is worth it now....
