Four U.K. employees killed in Iraq attack

BAGHDAD, NOV. 26. A mortar attack killed four employees of a British security firm and wounded 15 others in the Baghdad's Green Zone, a fortified area that houses the U.S. and Iraqi leadership, the company and British officials said on Friday.

Britain's Foreign Office said the dead were former Gurkhas, renowned Nepalese soldiers.

Tim J. O'Brien, spokesman for the London-based Global Risk Strategies, said the attack took place on Thursday, when multiple explosions were heard and black smoke was seen rising from the fortified zone on the western bank of the Tigris River.

More bodies found

Meanwhile, American forces found 13 more bodies in and around the northern city of Mosul, the military said on Friday, bringing to 35 the number of corpses discovered in the past week in the area shaken by an insurgent uprising.
