Iraqi Government Arrests Five US Contractors

HeadlineJun 08, 2009

This comes as the Iraqi government has arrested five US contractors in connection with the killing of another US contractor. If the case proceeds to an Iraqi court, the five men will be the first Americans to be tried under Iraqi law. The men are accused of murdering sixty-year-old James Owen Kitterman, president of Peregrine, a contracting company based in Kuwait. Four of the five detained contractors work for North Carolina-based Corporate Training Unlimited, a security firm headed by Donald Feeney, who, along with his son, Donald Feeney III, has been detained.
