More Lawsuits Filed Against
Blackwater Security Firm By Tony Perry Los Angeles Times March 27, 2009 Two more lawsuits have been
filed in San Diego federal court against the former Blackwater Worldwide
security firm by families of Iraqis allegedly killed by Blackwater guards. The lawsuits, filed this
week, allege that Blackwater, which has changed its name to Xe,
"fostered a culture of lawlessness among its employees." One suit was filed on behalf
of the family of a teacher killed Sept. 9, 2007; the other was on behalf of
15 families of those killed Sept. 16, 2007. They are seeking unspecified
damages. A week ago, a lawsuit was
filed on behalf of the widow and children of an Iraqi security guard killed
on Christmas Eve 2006. The lawsuits were filed in
San Diego because the North Carolina-based Xe has two training facilities in
San Diego, lawyers said. External link: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/03/blackwater-laws.html |
