A Kuwaiti military contractor being sued by the family of a dead American soldier has been “indignant and callous,” a federal judge said, but he was compelled to vacate a $4.9 million judgment against the company and dismiss the suit because the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia does not have jurisdiction in the case.
U.S. District Judge William S. Duffey had awarded the judgment to the family of U.S. Army Lt. Col. Dominic “Rocky” Baragona, who, while in Iraq in 2003, was killed in a traffic accident involving a truck driven by an employee of Kuwait & Gulf Link Transport Co. (KGL).
