German govt. may have covered secret CIA group
6th 12th 2010
Despite German intelligence saying that it knew nothing of a secret CIA group operating in Hamburg, it is not necessarily the case, said investigative journalist Wayne Madsen.
"Certainly, the federal German intelligence office in Hamburg is saying that it comes as a shock to them, he said. This is standard to say we had no idea this was going on.
Madsen added that the idea would not contradict the general mood in the Merkel government either.
With the Christian Democrats being conservative and pro-US, I do not see any problem there, he said.
Reports in the German media quoting Vanity Fair magazine say that a CIA hit team was operating in the German city of Hamburg targeting Al Qaeda suspect Mahmoun Darkazanli, a German-Syrian businessman.
The article in the American magazine said that the group, which did not notify the German authorities of its presence and mission, was following the businessman for weeks until the assassination was called off.

Xe Services LLC (pronounced zi), still usually referred to as "Blackwater", is a private military company founded as Blackwater USA in 1997 by Erik Prince and Al Clark. Blackwater has a wide array of business divisions, subsidiaries, and spin-off corporations but the organization as a whole has courted much controversy.

Based in North Carolina, Xe operates a tactical training facility which the company claims is the world's largest, and at which it trains more than 40,000 people a year, mostly from US and other military and police services. The training consists of military offensive and defensive operations, as well as smaller scale personal security.

Xe is currently the largest of the US State Department's three private security contractors. Of the 987 contractors Xe provides, 744 are US citizens. At least 90 percent of the company's revenue comes from government contracts, of which two-thirds are no-bid contracts. Xe provided security services in Iraq to the United States federal government, particularly the Central Intelligence Agency on a contractual basis. They no longer have a license to operate in Iraq: the new Iraqi government made multiple attempts to expel them from their country, and denied their application for an operating license in January 2009. However, the company is still under contract with the State Department and some Xe personnel were working legally in Iraq at least until September 2009.

In October 2007, the company, Blackwater USA, was renamed Blackwater Worldwide. It announced on February 13, 2009, that it would operate under the new name "Xe". In a memo sent to employees, President Gary Jackson wrote that the new name "reflects the change in company focus away from the business of providing private security." A spokesman for the company stated that it feels the Blackwater name is too closely associated with the company's work in the occupation of Iraq. Spokeswoman Anne Tyrrell said there was no meaning in the new name, which the company took over a year to arrive at in an internal search.

  • Don't worry, dear CIA, you can come to Germany and do what you want. There will be no trial or anything. But actually, you know that already ... It's business as usual.

  • Would the Us be pissed if we send a german assination team to the US and kill George W. Bush for war crimes without asking them, Im pretty sure they would be.
