Two Dead and Two Seriously Injured in Iraq

Irving, TX – November 14, 2005 – Ignatius Du Preez and Johannes Potgieter, both DynCorp International security team members from South Africa, were killed today in Iraq when their armored vehicle was hit by an improvised explosive device. Two other DI security employees were seriously injured.

The team was traveling in a convoy from the International Zone to the Iraq Ministry of Justice when an explosion hit their vehicle on the driver’s side. The vehicle immediately caught fire, and team members from another vehicle rescued the injured members.

Protective Security Detail member Ignatius Du Preez, 36, of Randfontein, South Africa, was pronounced dead on arrival at the 86th Combat Support Hospital. He was traveling in the car’s gunner position.

PSD member Johannes Potgieter, 53, of Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa, died instantly from his injuries. He was the driver of the car. Both Du Preez and Potgieter joined DynCorp International in October 2004.

The two seriously injured members were transported to the 86th Combat Support Hospital for treatment. An investigation is under way.

“We are deeply saddened by the deaths and injuries of these fine men. They were doing the important work of helping build a modern democratic police force in Iraq. We extend our deepest sympathy to their families, and have offered all possible support,” said DynCorp International spokesman Gregory Lagana.
