Baghdad, Iraq (AHN) – American security guards opened fire on an Iraqi Ambulance crewman Tuesday, after a roadside bomb blasted their convoy.

Reuters journalists saw clearly red crescent symbol marked windows of the ambulance shattered by bullets.

A U.S. military spokesman declined to name the contractors involved or say if any action would be taken against them.

An Iraqi Interior Ministry official said the security guards drove off after the shooting.

The surviving driver of the ambulance said at the scene he and his fellow crewman were taking a stretcher case to hospital when the bomb blasted the convoy of unmarked contractors' cars traveling on the same stretch of road.

“They opened fire and shot him in the heart," he said.

The incident drew an angry response from Iraqi officials, who often complain private foreign guards kill civilians with impunity.
