Two ex-Blackwater guards have been arrested and charged with the murder of two Afghans.
Twenty-seven year-old Justin Cannon and 29-year-old Chris Drotleff have been indicted on charges of second-degree murder, attempted murder and weapons charges, the AP reports.
The two were charged because of an incident last year at an intersection in Kabul, when the two allegedly opened fire on a vehicle and killed two Afghans. Blackwater, now known as Xe, fired them soon after over the incident.
This is the latest setback in what was been a rough year for Xe, but that hasn’t stopped the military contractor from pushing for even more Defense Department contracts.
