There is growing concern about the role of private security firms operating in Iraq, a BBC report has revealed.
Some security personnel claim their lives are being put at risk as they are asked to do the work of regular forces.
The investigation, by Radio 4's File on 4 programme, came as two Britons - one a bodyguard - were killed in a Baghdad rocket attack on Monday.
International Human Rights judge Richard Goldstone called for the work of firms in Iraq to be regulated.
Mr Goldstone said no government should use private contractors to do the work of regular armies because of their lack of control and accountability.
He said the situation in Iraq was "crying out" for international regulation.
