BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A Colombian civilian contractor was killed and two colleagues wounded on Saturday in an ambush north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said on Sunday.
"Yesterday morning near Balad, one civilian contractor, a citizen of Colombia, was killed and two associates were wounded when attackers using small caliber weapons attacked their convoy," spokesman Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt told a news conference in Baghdad.
In other ambushes on Saturday, guerrillas killed seven Spanish intelligence agents, two Japanese diplomats and their driver, and two U.S. soldiers.
