The District of Columbia Court of Appeals affirmed (PDF) the dismissal Friday of a lawsuit against Unity Resources Group LLC, a private security company accused of fatally shooting an Iraqi woman in 2007. The plaintiff, the woman’s father, hadn’t properly served the company, the court found, but it left the door open for him to refile his complaint.
Jalal Askander’s daughter, Genevia Jalal Antranick, was traveling by car in Baghdad in October 2007 when private security guards working for Unity Resources Group allegedly opened fire. Askander has been trying to sue Unity Resources Group and the primary contractor that hired them, RTI International, a North Carolina nonprofit, since 2008.
