** I received the following note from an FSO who previously served in Pakistan: "Under 2006, you have "Ahmed Ifi khar {Iraq}". It should be "Iftikhar Ahmed" and {Pakistan} -- he was the LES who was killed with David Foy in the Karachi bombing. (Iftikhar, which means "Honor" in Persian, is his first name, though the concept of first name/family name doesn't really exist in Pakistan)."

I have corrected the list above and checking with State/HR if this is a magazine error or a plaque error.  Thanks Dakota!

Hey -- under 2006, you have "Ahmed Ifi khar {Iraq}". It should be "Iftikhar Ahmed" and {Pakistan} -- he was the LES who was killed with David Foy in the Karachi bombing. (Iftikhar, which means "Honor" in Persian, is his first name, though the concept of first name/family name doesn't really exist in Pakistan).

I'm hoping this is your typo and not an error on the actual plaque itself.

Thanks for this Dakota. I will add your note in the blog post.

Below is what appeared in State Magazine February 2011:

2006:
Ahmed Ifi khar and Hussein Ibraheem Abdullah of Iraq and Bijnan Ajarya of Nepal

I'm sending a note to dgdirect; I'm also hoping this is not an error on the plaque.
