Another Sex Assault Alleged at KBR Overseas
Source: court house news

HOUSTON (CN) - Another woman has sued Kellogg, Brown and Root, claiming she was sexually assaulted while working in Afghanistan, and was fired after she reported it. And she claims that KBR had the brass to accuse her of "creating a hostile work environment" by reporting a sexual assault on another woman in the workplace.

In her federal complaint, the plaintiff, S.T., says she started working for KBR as a logistics warehouseman in November 2008 at the Jalalabad Base in Afghanistan, then was transferred to Kandahar Base.

After she reported that her supervisor was "discriminating against foreign employees and minorities and was forcing employees participate in illegal activities" her boss tried to increase her workload, she says.

She was transferred to Bagram Airfield, and worked in the laundry department, she says. A co-worker there reported that she had been sexually assaulted by an Afghan local working for KBR, and S.T. provided a written statement confirming the assault, according to the complaint.

"Despite plaintiff's complaints, no action was taken," she says. "Instead, KBR and its employees falsely alleged that plaintiff was creating a hostile work environment."

poured kerosene on her body and burned it.

How many Americans know of it??

Millions of Arabs and Europeans have seen pics and read of it.

Wonder why they refer to us as Barbarians?

Many similar incidents have been reported overseas not in America.

Read foreign papers and learn

4. Every govt contract with KBR should be pulled. Those men should go to jail.
If I was there, I'd be tempted to take matters into my own hands.
