The deadline was issued following intelligence reports about the ongoing presence of Blackwater agents on Pakistani soil. According to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Blackwater agents are still operating in the country. The Xe Services operatives were reportedly involved in the assassination of senior leader of Haqqani terrorist network Nasiruddin Haqqani on the outskirts of Islamabad on November 10. Nasiruddin was the son of Jalaluddin Haqqani, the leader of Pakistan-based Haqqani militant network. In 2009, Blackwater conducted extensive activities and terrorist operations across Pakistan, however, the former Pakistani government denied that the US security contractor is present in the country.
