American Embassy Worker Murdered
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The U.S. Embassy reports another civilian death in Iraq (search).
It says the man was killed in an attack in Baghdad Wednesday while traveling in a vehicle outside the protected Green Zone (search). It's withholding his identity until his relatives are notified.

A spokesman says "Our strongest condolences go out to the family," adding that Thanksgiving is not the best time to hear such news.
