Insurgents attacked a convoy of security workers employed by a British company in central Iraq today, killing two of them, a US military spokesman said. A third person was missing.

The security team was employed by the London-based Janusian Security Risk Management and was attacked south of the city of Beiji, said Major Neal O’Brien, a spokesman for the Tikrit-based 1st Infantry Division.

Rebels disabled their vehicle and killed two of the contractors, O’Brien said. A third person was missing. He did not know their nationalities and had no further details.

A spokeswoman for Janusian Security in London said company officials were investigating the report and had no immediate comment.

1. Isn't this the place where the Brits were abducted last fall?

From their website they advertise this "secure" location in Iraq!



THE JANUSIAN VILLA

Janusian’s luxury villa in the Mansur area of Baghdad offers secure accommodation for company executives. The house is under round-the-clock armed guard and accommodates our expatriate security managers.

By virtue of its location in a quiet residential neighbourhood and our ability to control access to the property, the villa offers considerably better security than Baghdad’s hotels.
