Lawsuit Details Security Company’s Shortcomings at U.S. Embassy in Kabul

Yesterday, GAP and Katz, Marshall & Banks filed a lawsuit on behalf of two program managers who worked for the private security company ArmorGroup.

The managers were fired in June 2007 for raising concerns about the integrity of the company’s security program and for disclosing those concerns to the State Department. They have not been informed by the State Department whether corrections to the problems they reported have been made. The case highlights the problem of foreign owned or controlled companies providing security for U.S. Government facilities.
