"BAGHDAD, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Private security firms in Iraq which act outside the law will be dealt with firmly, officials said on Tuesday, after a woman was shot in central Baghdad.

Monday's shooting was the latest in a string of incidents that have triggered widespread anger and prompted the Iraqi government to propose a change to the laws under which foreign security contractors operate.

"We demand that all security companies obey the law and orders released by the Iraqi government, otherwise the security forces will be obliged to deal firmly with these companies," Baghdad security spokesman Brigadier-General Qassim Moussawi told a media conference."
