The war contractor KBR is being sued for alleged human trafficking in Jordan and Iraq. The suit alleges thirteen Nepalese workers were hired to work in hotels and restaurants in Jordan. But upon arriving in the Jordanian capital Amman, the workers’ passports were seized, and they were immediately driven to Iraq. On the way, insurgents ambushed the workers’ vehicles, kidnapped them and later executed twelve of them. A thirteenth worker survived and spent more than a year in Iraq. A Washington, D.C. law firm filed the suit on behalf of the surviving worker and the families of the twelve dead workers. A former subsidiary of Halliburton, KBR is one of the largest US companies working in Iraq.
