BAGHDAD, Nov 28 (KUNA) -- Baghdad International Airport was shutdown on
Sunday for two and a half hours, after US troops shot and killed an Iraqi
airport employee.
Airport security sources told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), that the airport
was closed for more than two hours after US troops shot and killed Hassan
Hilwas, an airport employee, near the airport entrance inspection point.
Sources added, a US military convoy attempted to stop the man, who they
spotted driving a vehicle at high speed, as he did not respond to US signals,
therefore the troops opened fire towards him. (end)
