U.S. diplomats in Iraq, increasingly fearful over their personal safety after recent mortar attacks inside the Green Zone, are pointing to new delays and mistakes in the U.S. Embassy construction project in Baghdad as signs that their vulnerability could grow in the months ahead.

The main builder of the sprawling, 21-building embassy is First Kuwaiti General Trade and Contracting Co., a Middle Eastern firm that is already under Justice Department scrutiny over alleged labor abuses. First Kuwaiti also erected the guard base, prompting some State Department officials in Washington and Baghdad to worry that the problems exposed in the camp suggest trouble lurking ahead for the rest of the embassy complex.

So seems we need to take a close look at the First Kuwaiti General Trades and Contracting Co. Seems they are doing substandard work in Iraq. How many buildings in Kuwait are ready to go up in flames. I have seen several black clouds of smoke coming from buidings in Kuwait in the last couple of weeks, coinicence? Or another company getting rich on the backs of the poor worker.
