BAGHDAD, March 12 -- Four men suspected in the slaying of two Americans working for the occupation authority in Iraq appear to be active Iraqi police officers, U.S. officials said Friday.
The Americans, Fern L. Holland, 33, and Robert J. Zangas, 44, and Holland's Iraqi translator, Salwa Ourmashi, were shot dead around 6 p.m. Tuesday near Hilla, about 60 miles south of Baghdad. Shortly afterward, Polish troops apprehended six Iraqi men riding in the victims' car and discovered that four carried cards that identified them as police, officials said.

Not a good feeling to be an American being "protected" by an Iraqi (Muslim) policeman.
These things are to be expected.

Maybe they weren't terrorists... maybe they were just FBI trained.

Speculation on my part but I think they kept the bodies in the car in order to collect a bounty.

They need to be tried and shot if found guilty. Quickly and without any fanfare. The only publicity should be that they killed innocent people and they were in turn killed.
No faces or names for terrorists to take up as "martyrs". Know years long celebrity farce of justice. Just knowledge that justice will be swift and determined.
