Security Firm Sued By US Soldier's Family
The family of a California soldier killed in Afghanistan has sued a Canadian military contractor for rehiring a security guard, an Afghan national, after he allegedly threatened to attack U.S. troops.
The wrongful-death lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles claims Tundra Strategies failed to document the threats made by Shir Ahmed and didn't report the danger he posed to U.S. military officials.
Ahmed killed two U.S. soldiers and wounded four others at a Kandahar military base in 2011. Among those killed was medic Rudy Acosta, whose family along with three survivors, filed the suit.
Ahmed was killed after he opened fire. U.S. officials said Tundra records show Ahmed wasn't flagged as a threat because the allegations against him were unsubstantiated.
Most victims families due not have the privilege, or option of taking some one to court when they have lost a loved one in war.
ReplyDeleteI did see though where there are family members of drone victims going to court.
Good luck with that.
I found it.
