Relatives of Donald Tolfree, an employee of KBR, a subsidiary of Halliburton, who was killed by friendly fire in Iraq, have been allowed to move forward with their lawsuit against the defense contractor. Tolfree’s daughter contends Halliburton assured her father he would be protected while driving trucks for supply convoys. But in February 2007, Tolfree’s semi cab was riddled with a hundred bullets from a machine gun after his convoy commander failed to alert the U.S. camp to which he headed, causing an American soldier to open fire on him. Although initial reports correctly stated that Tolfree had been killed by friendly fire, Tolfree’s family says that Halliburton tried to convince them that he was really killed by a roadside bomb.
