"PA"

A suicide bomb attack in Baghdad killed three Britons and an American working for US security firms, their employers and the Foreign Office said today.

Andrew Marshall, a London-based spokesman for US security firm Kroll Inc, said two British employees died yesterday when a suicide bomber attacked their vehicle near the heavily guarded Green Zone.

The blast also killed a third Briton and an American, who were employed by security company BearingPoint, based in McLean, Virginia.

BearingPoint said the convoy was attacked as it returned from Baghdad International Airport.

An Associated Press photographer saw three bodies burning inside the wrecked vehicle.

The dead American was named as Tracy Hushin, 34, who was working under contract for the United States Agency for International Development, coordinating training for Iraqis.

The Foreign Office said it would not be naming the dead Britons.
