News from Al-Madina: An American citizen was assassinated today, Monday, in the capital city of Baghdad, according to sources in the Iraqi police force, following an unsuccessful effort to kidnap him.
She continued, saying that the body had been sent to a hospital in the Al-Karrada district of the Iraqi capital and that a preliminary report from the facility suggested that he had been shot to death.
“According to our initial investigations and eyewitnesses, gunmen have tried to kidnap the American citizen,” said Raed in the Iraqi police.
According to a police source, the man was carrying identification that indicated he was employed as an English instructor, according to Reuters. No one has taken ownership.
In addition, two Iraqi police officials said, provided that their identity was not disclosed that the man was shot while driving his car across the Karrada area on the eastern bank of the Tigris River, but the reason for his targeting was not clear, and no party has claimed its responsibility immediately.
Without specifying his identity, security sources verified the death of the American citizen who was employed by a global humanitarian organisation. They stated that while the specifics are still unavailable, the inquiry has already begun.
In contrast, US embassy representatives told the Associated Press that they were only made aware of the incident and had no further information.
Additionally, evidence stated that unidentified assailants shot and instantly killed Stephen Edward Troll, an American citizen, in the Karrada neighbourhood on Industry Street next to the Rafidain Bank.
Additionally, he demonstrated how the assassination occurred when the victim was operating his personal Prado while describing how the heinous act was carried out by two black Tahoes and a second black Mercedes.
The American citizen, according to the correspondent, works for the American Development Agency-affiliated Melinum for Relief and Development Services.
