CIA asked us to eliminate A Q Khan: Blackwater chief

LAHORE: In a stunning revelation, US private security service agency, Blackwater's founder, Erik Prince, has claimed that CIA had asked the agency to kill Pakistani nuclear scientist, A Q Khan.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Prince said the CIA had asked the Blackwater to eliminate Khan, however, authorities in Washington "chose not to pull the trigger."

"Dr Khan's inclusion in the target list would suggest that the assassination effort was broader than has previously been acknowledged," Prince said.

Prince has also admitted to Blackwater's participation in some of the CIA's most sensitive operations, including raids on suspected militants in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Prince said Blackwater's, which now known as Xe Worldwide Services, role changed remarkably after its officials started providing security cover to CIA operatives in the field.

Raids on suspected insurgents in Iraq, known as "snatch and grab" operations, were mostly carried out during nights between 2004 and 2006.
