It was announced on Feb. 17 that Aegis Defence Services Ltd., headquaartered in London, won a multiple awardees contract award...to provide security consultancy services [for the 2012 Olympics]...Aegis...has been among the biggest firms in Iraq...One wonders if the Olympic Development Authority was aware that it was Aegis security contractors who shot and permanently disabled U.S. Special Forces sergeant Khadim Alkanani [in Iraq]...In his subsequent law suit Alkanani claimed his shooting was "remarkably similar" to other incidents which employees of Aegis Defense Services have captured on "trophy videos"...immediately after the shooting, the Aegis employees apologized for shooting him...On February 8 the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted a summary judgment for Aegis dismissing Alkanani's case...The facts were not in dispute. Alkanani was shot by Aegis contractors...Judge Richard Roberts reasoning was straightforward. Aegis provided evidence that it simply didn't exist at the time of the alleged shooting (the company was incorporated in the U.S. in 2006). Its parent company, meanwhile, argued that the court didn't have personal jurisdiction.
