       Nov 6 (Reuters) - Sweden's Securitas  SECUb.ST , one of
the world's biggest security services firms, reported on
Wednesday a rise in third-quarter core profit, which was
slightly above its expectations, with improved performance in
Europe.
    Operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortisation rose to 3 billion Swedish crowns ($276.11 million),
from 2.76 billion crowns a year ago.
    This was slightly above an average analyst forecast of 2.96
billion crowns in a company-provided poll.
