3 Election Workers Assassinated In Baghdad

HeadlineDec 20, 2004

Meanwhile in Baghdad three Iraqi elections workers were shot dead on Sunday in broad daylight in the middle of Haifa Street. 30 gunmen ambushed their car, dragged the election workers out into the street and then shot them dead. And their car was set on fire. The Knight Ridder news agency is reporting that State Department, the CIA, and the Defense Intelligence Agency have all recently told President Bush that the U.S. “isn’t winning” the battle against the Iraqi resistance. But on White House Chief Andrew Card appeared on ABC’s “This Week” and said the US had won the war and he attempted to downplay the attacks by the Iraqi resistance.
