Since March 2004, when the charred bodies of four American security
guards were dragged through the streets of Falluja, private security in
Iraq has become a multibillion dollar business for a handful of US and
UK companies.<br>
<br>
For the hired ex-soldier earning up to $1,000 (£500) a day, it is also
the most dangerous job in the world. More than 900 have been killed in
the past three years, the majority of them American.<br>
<br>
The Pentagon estimates there are about 20,000 armed security guards in
the country although some observers have put the figure much higher.<br>
<br>
Some of the kidnapped men worked for one of the major firms operating
in Iraq, GardaWorld, which is based in Montreal but has an office in
Hereford, the military base of the SAS. Last year the company acquired
the London-based Kroll Security International, which had its own
personal security units in Iraq.<br>
