Iraq, March 11 - Two Iraqi women employed by a unit of US oilfield services company Halliburton were shot dead late Wednesday in this southern port city, coalition spokesman Dominic D'angelo told reporters.

"The assailants stopped their car and shot them dead," D'angelo said Thursday of the women, employed as laundresses by Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR).

The women's driver told reporters on condition of anonymity that four assailants stopped the car and warned him not to intervene.

"They pulled the first women out of the car and immediately shot her, and did the same with the second, shooting her in the head," he said.
