Iraq insurance premiums double

(CNN) -- Increasing threats of targeted attacks and hostage-taking is complicating the work of contractors working on reconstruction in Iraq. The dangers have forced a change of tactics in order to avoid becoming targets.

But for many the increased risk is too much -- as insurance premiums soar for international contractors, many are pulling out.

The recent wave of kidnappings in Iraq has sent shock waves around the world. But the murder of an Italian hostage -- although a tragedy -- was not entirely unexpected.
