Iraq Contractor Faces Lawsuit in Soldier Electrocution
ABC News reports that the parents of a U.S. soldier electrocuted by faulty wiring in Iraq have filed a lawsuit in a Pennsylvania state court against contractor Kellogg Brown Root (KBR). KBR has contracts with the Pentagon to provide building maintenance and repair in Iraq, including Radwaniyah Palace where the incident occurred. The soldier, one of 12 to die of accidental electrocution in Iraq to date, was fatally shocked while showering, due to an improperly grounded water pump. According to ABC News, the matter is now being investigated by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
