Erik Prince, the fanatical right-wing founder of mercenary contractor Blackwater Worldwide, murdered at least one informant who cooperated with federal investigators probing the company's illegal operations in Iraq and may have killed more, two former employees say.
The two former employees, one an ex-Marine, say Prince was guilty of many crimes while he ran the massive "security" company that murdered civilians in Iraq and lost its contract with the State Department because of that incident and other abuses.
Prince has resigned from the company, which now operates under a new name, Xe.
Xe recently obtained contracts to guard American ships from piracy.
Documents filed in U.S. District Court this week identify the two former employees only as "John Doe No. 1" and "John Doe No. 2." Lawyers for both said the identities were withheld because of threats from Prince and his associates.
Sources close to the case tell Capitol Hill Blue that more explosive revelations about Prince and his methods will emerge as the case progresses.
