EAGLE BASE, Bosnia-Herzegovina –– An American civilian
contract worker assigned to a U.S. military base in
Bosnia died from stab injuries sustained during a
fight, U.S. officials with the NATO peacekeeping
mission said Monday. 

Robert Ruiz, 27, was a contractor working for the
University of Maryland and had been assigned in June
to U.S. Eagle Base in the northern Bosnian town of
Tuzla. 

Medical personnel on the base pronounced Ruiz dead
Sunday morning, and a statement listed the cause of
death as apparent stab wounds. An autopsy was pending.
No further details on the altercation were released. 

"Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones of Mr.
Robert Ruiz," said Maj. Gen. Walter L. Sharp,
commander of the base. 

The base police detained a suspect in the stabbing,
but the suspect's identity and other details would not
be made public until the investigation was completed,
the statement said.
