Halliburton Co. and KBR Inc. have withdrawn an appeal asking the U.S. Supreme Court to block a lawsuit by a former military contractor who says she was raped by KBR co-workers in Iraq.

KBR said in a statement Monday that it withdrew the appeal to not risk violating a recently passed federal provision it called ''very broad and vague,'' that restricts the Defense Department from doing business with companies that prohibit employees from seeking redress for certain crimes through the courts.

''As a result, KBR did not want to risk being in violation of the amendment, so the company withdrew its petition,'' KBR said in a statement.

Diana Gabriel, a spokeswoman for Halliburton, also confirmed the appeal was withdrawn but declined to elaborate.
