Violence in Iraq cripples $21-bln rebuilding effort

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Washington is far behind in plans to pump $21 billion into Iraq's reconstruction, bogged down by an insurgency that has killed hundreds of contractors and diverted funds to security, a U.S. official said on Saturday.

Relentless guerrilla attacks have killed a 295 contractors for U.S. projects alone since reconstruction began, said Theresa Shope, spokeswoman for the Iraq Reconstruction Management Office

Hmm, now why would the insurgents want to kill people trying to rebuild and make better their country?

But bloodshed has put a U.S. plan to improve the electricity grid on hold, Taylor said.

Trying to transport a huge turbine and 400 tonnes of equipment in a convoy to the northern city of Kirkuk proved too risky in a country where guerrillas can strike on any road, let alone a slow desert route.

Arabian, Iraqis are rebuilding Iraq, with American money. I have several friends who have come back from Iraq and given us briefings on this.
