Andrew J. Moonen
Andrew J. Moonen is a former employee of Blackwater Security, accused by the Iraq government of murdering Raheem Khalif, a security guard of the Iraqi Vice-president, Adel Abdul Mahdi.〔KIRO 7 Eyewitness News, ("Seattle Man At Center Of Blackwater Probe Declines Comment" ), October 4, 2007.〕 Khalif died from three gunshot wounds.〔John M. Broder, New York Times, ("Ex-Paratrooper Is Suspect in a Blackwater Killing" ), October 4, 2007.〕 Moonen, originally from Kalispell, Montana, in the US, served previously in the 82nd Airborne Division of the United States Army; he received an honorable discharge.〔Greg Barnes, Fay Observer, ("Blackwater contractor ID’d" ), October 6, 2007.〕 In the wake of the killing, the United States State Department and Blackwater USA had attempted to keep his identity secret for security reasons.〔Robin Wright and Ann Scott Tyson, Mercury News, ("Iraq reveals $100 million purchase of Chinese arms" ), October 4, 2007.〕 Currently, Moonen lives in Seattle, Washington.〔Mike Carter, Seattle Times, ("Charges for Blackwater ex-guard? Lawyer doubts it" ), October 4, 2007.〕 Responding to claims of company-wide negligence, Erik Prince, the company's founder, said “when we found knucklehead behavior, we fired them.”
The employee was identified on October 4, 2007 by the ''New York Times'' as Andrew J. Moonen, from Seattle, Washington, and federal law enforcement is investigating the case, which the Iraqi government considers a murder.〔 In Congressional hearings on October 2, 2007, Blackwater USA CEO Erik Prince testified that Moonen was fired for "violating alcohol and firearm policy."〔(Contractor involved in Iraq shooting got job in Kuwait ), October 4, 2007.〕
Despite the Blackwater incident, Moonen found subsequent employment. From February to August 2007, he was employed by US Defense Department contractor (Combat Support Associates (CSA) ) in Kuwait.〔CBS News, ("Waxman Questions Rice About Blackwater's Christmas Eve Shooter" ), October 5, 2007. Retrieved 10-09-07.〕 In April 2007, the US Department of Defense tried to call him back to active duty, but cancelled the request because Moonen was overseas.〔
==Shooting incident==
On August 12, 2007, an MSNBC report noted the largely unaccountable and unsupervised nature of security contractor activities, and the high number of casual or indiscriminate civilian killings attributed to them. According to the State Department, on December 24, 2006, a drunken Blackwater employee shot and killed a bodyguard who was protecting the Iraqi vice president. The US State Department was aware of the incident and recommended that a $250,000 payment be made to the victim's family. They offered to pay out $15,000, which the State Department agreed to. The Blackwater employee was fired but no criminal charges were brought against him initially.〔Yahoo News, ("Blackwater portrayed as out of control" )〕
