Alledged 2 CIA dead in Falluja
2004-04-11
Aljazeera TV, meanwhile, has aired a tape showing the bodies of two men reported to be US intelligence officers killed in Falluja.
Who knows, God bless their souls
A voice on the videotape said the two Americans were CIA officers working in Iraq. The videotape, broadcast on Sunday, showed the bloodied bodies of two foreign men lying on the ground, one shot in the back and another in the leg, surrounded by several Iraqi men. It was not clear when the footage was filmed or by whom.

#1  They could be the two missing German GSG9s.

BERLIN (AP)--Two security agents for the German Embassy in Baghdad who have been missing in Iraq for several days are most likely dead, the Foreign Ministry said Sunday.

The two German men, ages 38 and 25, were traveling from Amman, Jordan, to Baghdad on a routine trip Wednesday and were ambushed near Fallujah, according to the ministry.

``Based on current intelligence, it is unfortunately highly probable that both security agents have perished,'' an official with the ministry said on condition of anonymity. But, ``a final confirmation is still outstanding.''

Other vehicles in the convoy reached the embassy on Thursday after coming under fire, the ministry said.

The Foreign Ministry said there was no evidence that the two men had been kidnapped.

The two men were agents with GSG-9, an elite police unit. Members of the unit were sent in November to help protect the embassy and German workers helping to restore water supplies.
