MOSUL, Iraq (AP) - A roadside bomb Monday wounded three civilian security contractors working in northern Iraq for the London-based firm Global Risk Strategies, the U.S. military said.

The three were taken to a U.S. Army hospital, a U.S. military spokesman in Mosul said. No further details were immediately available.

The firm has about 1,100 workers on the ground in Iraq - mainly armed former Nepalese and Fijian soldiers.

The incident is the second attack against contractors in as many days in Mosul, a major city in northern Iraq.

The British Foreign Office said that a British security contractor was killed and three colleagues were wounded in a drive-by shooting Saturday in Mosul. The four worked for ArmorGroup, a security firm with 1,000 employees in Iraq protecting official buildings and companies.
