Perhaps fearful of public reaction in America, where support for the war is falling, US officials suppressed details of the Sept 20 attack, which bore a striking resemblance to the murder of four other contractors in Fallujah last year.
I guess it supposedly happened in Sept.
In Sept. we were engaged in Operation Saratoga. In that area.

U.S. forces surround Iraq's Duluiya, arrest dozens
BAGHDAD, Oct 19, SPA-- U.S. and Iraqi forces surrounded the town of Duluiya north of the capital, Baghdad, overnight, raiding homes and arresting dozens of suspected insurgents, Iraqi National Guards said on Tuesday.
U.S. helicopters struck surrounding orchards where suspected insurgents were believed to be hiding out, witnesses said. There was no immediate word on casualties or comment from U.S. forces.
Duluiya lies about 20 kilometres (12 miles) south of Samarra, where U.S. forces carried out an offensive earlier this month to root out rebels ahead of elections planned for January. --SPA 0041 Local Time 2141 GMT
