US Troops Abandon Ambushed Truck

Members Virginia National Guard were escorting a convey of trucks through insurgent territory. Four trucks were hit and were unable to move. The National Guard escort left the truckers. Two Halburton contractors were killed exucution-style. Driver Preston Wheeler was shot twice. He was later fired for his work-related injury.

He says when he was hired by Halliburton he was promised the trucks would be equipped with bullet proof glass and armed guards every third truck.

"That's a lie, it's a gimmick, a sales pitch," Wheeler said.
