(Baghdad, Iraq-AP) September 13, 2005 - An Iraqi police captain says four American contract workers have been killed in a roadside bombing south of Basra.
The captain says the Americans and Iraqi security guards were driving in a convoy when the bomb went off.
US officials can't confirm the American deaths and only say that the victims were not diplomats or soldiers.
Meantime, the US military says a militant tied to al-Qaida has been captured in Haditha. Four militants were killed in the attack along the Euphrates River.
Haditha is 140 miles northwest of Baghdad.
And Turkey's Anatolia news agency reports three Turkish engineers held nearly two months in Iraq have been returned home.
