The blast occurred Wednesday at 10:15 a.m. local time as embassy personnel were enroute to interview Palestinian professors and students for a work-study program in the United States. Mr. Linde, a bodyguard employed by a private company, DynCorp, was policing the convoy when he and two other bodyguards were killed." ~ Find-A-Grave
