An American aid worker fatally shot in central Baghdad was identified as 45-year-old Stephen Edward Troell, the U.S. Embassy based in Baghdad said Tuesday.
Troell, a native of Tennessee, was killed by unknown assailants in his car as he pulled up to the street where he lived with his family in Baghdad's central Karrada district. It was a rare killing of a foreigner in Iraq, where security conditions have improved in recent years, even opening the door for tourism.
