HeadlineJul 03, 2007

Four female employees of the contractor Kellogg, Brown and Root and its former corporate parent Halliburton have filed suit alleging sexual harassment and two cases of rape while working in Iraq. In separate filings, the women say they faced repeated sexual harassment despite complaining to their supervisors. One plaintiff says she needed surgery after being drugged and raped by male co-workers in Baghdad in 2005. KBR is the largest military contractor in Iraq.
