Murat Yuce was a Turkish truck driver who worked for the Turkish company "Bilintur".
He was kidnapped in Iraq in early August 2004, during the U.S. occupation of Iraq. A video of his execution at the hand of Iraqi militants was distributed on the Internet.
In response to this murder, and kidnapping of two other drivers, Turkey's truckers association announced that it would no longer deliver goods to U.S. forces in Iraq.
