WINDHOEK, Namibia (AP) - Authorities have ordered the deportation of two Americans working for a security firm that was trying to recruit Namibians to work as guards at U.S. facilities in Iraq and Afghanistan, a government minister said.
The Namibian Cabinet also recommended the closure of the local branch of the Nevada-based security firm, Special Operations Consulting-Security Management Group (SOC-SMG), which was set up earlier this month, Information Minister Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah said Friday.
Nandi-Ndaitwah said two American employees of the firm — Paul Grimes, the firm's country representative and Fredric Piry, the chief of operations — were to be "immediately removed" from the country. They had been given 24 hours to leave Namibia, she said Friday.
