Contractor charged with murdering Afghan: A defense contractor who once provided security to the Afghan president and Iraqi prime minister has been charged with murdering an Afghan civilian. Don M. Ayala, of New Orleans, helped subdue and arrest Abdul Salam after the Afghan civilian tossed a container of flammable liquid at a fellow contractor, according to court documents filed in federal court in Alexandria. After Salam was handcuffed and Ayala learned that the fellow contractor had suffered serious burns, Ayala shot Salam in the head, killing him instantly, prosecutors said. Ayala worked for contractor BAE Systems, a company with North American headquarters in Rockville.
