Getting post image outside loop

    Using this outside the loop to display posts from a certain category. Tried everything I can find to try and get the post featured image to be used as the background but nothing seems to work.

    Any idea how to make it?

    <?php query_posts('attachment&orderby=name&order=asc&cat=9&showposts=4'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<li style="background: url(<?php wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, $size, $icon ); ?>)" ><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile;?>

    Store the values in variables like this.

    <?php query_posts('attachment&orderby=name&order=asc&cat=9&showposts=4'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<?php
        global $post;
	$image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, $size, $icon );
	$permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);
	$title = get_the_title($post->ID);
	?>
<?php endwhile;?>

    and, use it outside like this.

    <li style="background: url(<?php echo $image_url; ?>)" ><a href="<?php echo $permalink; ?>"><?php echo $title; ?></a></li>
