Mosul Attack Kills More Than 20; Halliburton Workers Among Dead
Dec. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Insurgents fired explosives at a dining tent during lunchtime at a U.S. Army base in Iraq's northern city of Mosul today, killing more than 20 people, including soldiers and employees of military contractor Halliburton Co.

``The killed include U.S. military personnel, U.S. contractors, foreign national contractors and Iraqi army,'' Brigadier General Carter Ham said in a Pentagon video from Mosul, according to a transcript. He did not provide an exact number of those dead, and said more than 60 were wounded.

Ham is commander of Task Force Olympia, a roughly 8,000- soldier force that includes 5,000 soldiers from Fort Lewis, Washington. Mosul, Iraq's third-largest city, was the scene of a violent flare-up last month in which insurgents seized most of the town's police stations.
