"Three private security contractors working for the US government in the heavily fortified green zone in Baghdad, the Iraqi capital, have been killed in a rocket attack.
"Two Ugandans and one Peruvian were killed and 15 people injured" by "a rocket fired into the international zone," the American embassy said in a statement, using another name for the green zone in central Baghdad.
"All of the dead and injured worked for a US government security contractor which protects US government facilities in Iraq ... two of the injured were American citizens," the embassy said on Thursday.
The dead and wounded all worked for Triple Canopy, a contractor based in Herndon, Virginia, founded by US special-forces veterans.
The green zone, which houses Iraqi government buildings, and several major embassies in addition to US interests, is the target of frequent rocket and mortar attacks."
