Trial of British contractor in Iraq postponed

The trial of a British security contractor accused of shooting two colleagues to death has been postponed, an Iraqi official said Sunday. Justice Ministry spokesman Abdul-Sattar Bayrkdar said the trial of Danny Fitzsimons, which had been expected to begin Sunday, has been delayed because the venue is being moved to another building…Fitzsimons is accused of shooting two colleagues, a Briton and an Australian, during a fight in Baghdad's Green Zone this summer and then wounding an Iraqi while fleeing. All three men were working for the British security firm ArmorGroup Iraq.
