Inter-Risk raided for possessing unlicensed weapons!
64 assault rifles and 30 pistols, all unlicensed were seized and two people were arrested.
Police raided Inter-Risk, a Pakistani security firm owned by Captain (Retd.) Ali Zaidi, in Islamabad that helps protect the U.S. Embassy. 64 assault rifles and 30 pistols, all unlicensed were seized and two people were arrested. The incident follows a series of scandals surrounding American use of private contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The raid on two offices of the Inter-Risk company is especially sensitive because of a slew of recent rumors and media reports that U.S. embassy expansion plans in Pakistan include hiring the security firm formerly known as Blackwater.
Police official Rana Akram said that two Inter-Risk employees were arrested and being questioned. He said authorities were also seeking the company’s owner, Captain (Retd.) Ali Zaidi, a retired Pakistani army captain.
