Updated info. Only one of the victims was a woman and she travelled without security. Check out the links below:

Also, from one of the articles about the woman killed, Fern Holland:

"Her job required her to travel almost every day on highways where snipers and roadside bombs lurked. And yet, she asked to travel with an unarmed escort because she felt the high security around her was a barrier to her work with Iraqi women, he said."

She had good intentions, but her idealism got her killed.
