“Contractors” reported threatening independent action in Iraq

After enduring three days of rocket attacks on the Green Zone, Slogger sources report that contractors billeted inside the Zone may take matters into their own hands if the U.S. Army does not do something to better secure the area.

Virtually unremarked by US press, Baghdad's “secure” Green Zone has been under rocket attack for three days, IraqSlogger says.

A security company approached the US military on Thursday to discuss the matter, and was told that the resources are not available to prevent the attacks. The contractor reportedly offered to use his men to begin undertaking countermeasures if the military was unable to provide security, but the idea was not an item of serious discussion.

The security company is presumably in US employ.
