Blackwater threatened to kill US official over Iraq massacre probe: report
According to a State Department memo, Daniel Carroll, Blackwater’s project manager in Iraq, told Richter after an argument “that he could kill me at that very moment and no one could or would do anything about it as we were in Iraq.”
Richter wrote: “I took Mr Carroll’s threat seriously. We were in a combat zone where things can happen quite unexpectedly, especially when issues involve potentially negative impacts on a lucrative security contract.”
A fellow State Department investigator who witnessed the exchange corroborated Richter’s report in a separate statement.
