An ABB Lummus Global employee from Houston, who was wounded in a terrorist attack at the company's office in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, died today in a Houston hospital, the company reported.

Thomas Washburn, the 40-year-old head manager of ABB's project in Yanbu, was shot in the throat in the May 1 attack, which killed four other employees and an ABB contractor.

He was flown out of Saudi Arabia on May 8 and his condition had deteriorated in recent days, said company spokeswoman Patti McDonald. He died Friday afternoon at Memorial Hermann Hospital, she said.

Just wondering..

2. Why should he be?

From the article, it doesn't look like he set foot in Iraq. Anti-royalist attacks in Saudi predate the Iraq wars.
