James Owen "Jim" Kitterman (born c. 1949 — ) was an American citizen murdered in Iraq's Green Zone.〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 Kitterman was a former United States Navy chief petty officer.〔〔 He had worked in Iraq since the US invasion in 2003, for Kellogg, Brown and Root and other firms. He was the president of his own construction firm Janus Construction, based in Houston. CNN reported on June 7, 2009 that Kitterman had been bound, blindfolded and gagged, prior to being stabbed.〔 ==Suspects== Five men were arrested on June 5, 2009 at the barracks and office of security firm Corporate Training Unlimited (CTU). One of the arrested men was Donald Feeney Jr., a former Delta Force soldier and the founder of CTU. Also arrested were Donald Feeney III, one of Feeney's sons, two members of CTU, Micah Milligan and Mark Bridges, and an insect exterminator named Jason Jones who was spending the night on his way to Camp Taji.〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 The ''Washington Post'' reported that the five suspects were arrested by Iraqi authorities following a tip from the FBI.〔 The ''Associated Press'' reported that the five men were arrested during a raid on the Corporate Training Unlimited's offices and barracks because their weapons permits had expired. Iraqi officials suspected that they were involved in the murder. Later, CNN quoted officials at the US Embassy who stated the five men were not suspected of the murder and that all five had alibis. Sarah Smith, a spokesperson with CTU, acknowledged that Feeney and his colleagues knew Kitterman, and respected him: One of the proclamation of America's administrator of Iraq, Paul Bremer, was that American contractors would be immune from prosecution in Iraqi courts.〔 This proclamation remained in effect until the Iraqi legislature countermanded it in 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim Kitterman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
