Blackwater to Stay in Iraq Despite Ban
Wikileaks continues to release new US diplomatic cables, this time revealing that hundreds of US security contractor Blackwater's employees are still operating in Iraq despite an Iraqi attempt to revoke the US firm's license.
Agence France Presse quoted on Sunday a January 4, 2010 cable stating, "There are many former Blackwater employees at other private security companies in Iraq".
"The [US] embassy understands that Triple Canopy (another US security firm) currently employs several hundred former Blackwater employees", a January 11, 2010 cable revealed.
Blackwater is a US security firm that has been misusing the gun license, where they exploited it for committing murder, especially in Iraqi cities after the 2003 US invasion in Iraq.
