What a sad story. A handful of poor folk in Nepal (as if they didnt have enough trouble with the Chinese) looking hard for work, no doubt trying to
support a family, are recruited and hired to work in a kitchen in Jordan.
But when they arrive their passports are taken and they are shipped to Iraq for work. But along the way poor security allows their convoy to be
captured and they themselves are killed.
How can we allow KBR, Halliburton, Dick Cheney, and all other associated parties to remain free and unaccountable?
They should all share the fate of these poor Nepalese workers.

Halliburton Sued For Human Trafficking
www.blacklistednews.com
13 Nepali men: recruited and held against their will for 13 months in a scheme perpetrated by Halliburton & its Jordanian contractor, according to a lawsuit filed in California federal court.(visit the link for the full news article)
Hired as kitchen staff, once they arrived in Jordan their passports were seized & they were dispatched to Iraq. Tragically, as the men were being transported to Iraq, a car containing 12 of the men was stopped by an insurgent group, The 12 men in the car were taken hostage and executed.

Was it Halliburton or the Jordanian Contractor? From the article is sounds like it was the Jordanian Contractor. Not making excuses, I just like unspun facts.

I found it in the first search. It was Halliburton subsidiary KBR and its Jordanian subcontractor, Daoud & Partners who did this. Apparently no longer
connected to Halliburton from what I can tell.

Sounds like Halliburton dropped them like a hot potato.
It is too bad the Iraqi Insurgents can not be held liable
What monsters killing simple workers like that.
