Assailants fatally shot an American aid worker Monday in a rare killing of a foreigner in the Iraqi capital in recent years, police officials said, adding that the man's wife and child were in the car with him but were not hurt.
A photo provided by Iraqi security officials shows the vehicle, with its window shattered, in which a U.S. national was driving when he was fatally shot by unknown gunmen in Baghdad, Iraq, November 8, 2022.The officials said as the man drove through his street, a car cut him off and assailants in another car shot him dead. It was not immediately clear if the assailants were trying to kidnap the man, they said.
Spokesman Ned Price told reporters on Monday that the U.S. State Department was looking into the reports of the killing of a U.S. aid worker in Baghdad. He said the department could not yet confirm the death or that the person in question was a U.S. citizen. Iraqi security officials provided images of the man's identification cards indicating that he was a U.S. citizen, but CBS News has withheld his identity pending confirmation that his relatives have been informed. According to documents seen by The Associated Press, the man had been renting an apartment in Karrada's Wahda area since May last year.
