Government “fact finding mission” used as cover for training terrorist fighters.
Emails obtained from intelligence gathering outfit Stratfor and
leaked by Wikileaks show that a former director of Blackwater, the US
mercenary contractor organization, was sent by the US government to
fight alongside rebels in Libya, and was even involved in the killing
of Muammar Gaddafi.
In addition, a US government committee has now overseen the
mercenary’s assignment to Syria where he is tasked with protecting
rebel fighters and finding ways to “help in regime change.”
Al-Akhbar English reports
on the email stash leaked by Wikileaks, that shows former Blackwater
director Jamie F. Smith struck up a rapport with Stratfor vice
president Fred Burton.
Smith, now the chief executive of the security firm SCG
International, was contracted by the US government to protect Libyan
National Transitional Council (NTC) members and train Libyan rebel
fighters following the announcement of the NATO no-fly zone over Libya
one year ago.
Smith fed intelligence back to Stratfor under the codename LY700, and was even apparently involved in the assassination of the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in the town of Sirte.
In one email exchange,
Burton praised Smith’s intelligence gathering efforts writing “Good
skinny. This is what is defined as a credible source. Not some windbag
Paki academic belching and passing gas.”
Smith continued to pass intelligence to Stratfor right up until the outfit’s email servers were hacked in December.
