Gilani being guarded by Blackwater-trained officials? | | Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani's security arrangements have come under scrutiny after it was revealed that many women security officials trained
by notorious US security company Blackwater are part of his special security team.
According to The News, Blackwater has provided training to some 100 security
officials, most of them women, at the Sihala police station. Blackwater had set up its
training centre at the Sihala police station, which the Pakistani government later
closed under pressure. Although, the government officials had been denying the
existence
of Blackwater, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates confirmed its presence in an
interview during his visit to Pakistan. Government officials confirmed the deployment
of these officials but added that they were trained under an agreement signed
during the Musharraf era and that they had nothing to do with Blackwater. |
