A private security guard working for Master Security at Dulles International Airport had his access withdrawn this week after his employer was made aware of a lawsuit alleging he had committed “war crimes” in Somalia. The civil suit alleges that Yusuf Abdi Ali, 63, — a former commander in the Somali National Army who later moved to Alexandria, Virginia — tortured a Somali national in 1987.
A private security guard at Dulles International Airport had his access withdrawn this week after his employer was made aware of a lawsuit alleging he had committed “war crimes” in Somalia.
The civil suit alleges that Yusuf Abdi Ali, 63, — a former commander in the Somali National Army who later moved to Alexandria, Virginia — tortured a Somali national in 1987.
The man bringing the suit claims that, at Ali’s direction, he was beaten, kicked, stripped naked and shot because Ali believed he was a supporter of an opposition group that had recently stolen a water tanker. Ali himself repeatedly shot the man and left him for dead, the suit claims, asking his guards to dispose of the body.
Officials with Master Security, a contractor that provides security guards to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), told ABC News they were not aware of the pending civil litigation against their employee until Tuesday, but have now placed Ali on paid administrative leave while they investigate.
The civil suit was first reported by CNN.
According to the Fallston Group, an executive advisory firm hired by Master Security, Ali had worked with the security company “for a couple of years,” and had gone through a battery of background checks.
All Master Security employees are subject to “the full, federally mandated vetting process in order to be approved for an airport badge,” MWAA said, noting the vetting includes a criminal history record check by the FBI and a security assessment by the Transportation Security Administration. Master Security employees working at Dulles must also be licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
“We have verified that all of these processes were followed and approved in this instance,” MWAA said in a statement.
