There's a War Going On....Right here.

Halliburton regrets to confirm the death of four KBR employees who
were killed during an attack on the Dining Facility in Mosul, Iraq,
at noon on December 21, 2004.

Leslie W. Davis', 53, Magnolia, TX, greatest pride was his children
and grandchildren. He was working in the Quality Assurance/Quality
Control department and was known for his fairness and diligence to
his work. Leslie was a compassionate man, who had a personal
relationship with a higher power and prayed before every meal.

Anthony M. Stramiello, Jr., 61, Astoria, OR, known to his friends and
colleagues as Tony, was very intelligent, detail oriented and
articulate. He was in Iraq working as a Carpenter Foreman to get
ahead. He had a passion for adventure.

Allen Smith, 45, Rosharon, TX, will be remembered most fondly for his
contagious smile. A Labor Foreman, he was held in the highest regard
by his workers for his warm nature, and his love of a good joke.

Brett A. Hunter, 29, Chickasaw, AL, worked as a Process Lab Tech
Analyst. Brett loved to fish. He was a generous soul, watching out
for the subcontract employees he interacted with.

Each of these men was a special part of the KBR family and will be
greatly missed. We strongly urge you to respect the privacy of the
family during this most difficult time. KBR closely monitors the
constantly changing situation in Iraq and works closely with
authorities to ensure the safety and security of all our personnel in
the region.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and for all of our
employees and subcontractors who are working in this extremely
dangerous environment.

Our previous worst day since we began this mission in Iraq was on
April 9, 2004, when one of our supply convoys was attacked. During
that attack five employees were killed, two remain missing and Thomas
Hamill was injured, captured and later escaped captivity.

Yesterday's attack resulting in four deaths and 16 serious injuries
was the worst for KBR and our subcontractors in the almost two years
of the war in Iraq. We continue to look at all options to try and
protect our employees in this current war environment.

Halliburton and our subcontractors have lost 59 employees while
performing services under our contracts in Kuwait and Iraq.
