British mercenaries cleared by US

The BBC have reported that it continues to be business as usual for Tim Spicer and Aegis.

The British mercenary firm has welcomed the outcome of a US army investigation clearing it of criminal offences. The US military launched an inquiry after a video showing an Aegis Defence Services contractor firing at civilian cars in Iraq was shown on the internet.

Ageis, which has a Pentagon contract in Iraq said to be worth ‘157m, said the man responsible for the film is now the subject of legal action.

Aegis also revealed that its own investigation, which was handed to the US Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, had found that the incident shown on the film was within the rules on the use of force by civilian personnel.
