Federal agencies knew that a man hired as a security guard at Dulles International Airport outside of Washington, D.C. was an accused Somali war criminal, CNN reported Friday.
Yusuf Abdi Ali, who served as a military commander during the Somali Civil War, has been accused of torturing civilians, burning villages, and conducting mass executions. CNN reported Thursday that Ali passed both FBI and TSA background checks.
Federal officials later confirmed to CNN that several agencies knew about Ali’s past but refused to comment further on his hiring.
The Center for Justice and Accountability, a human rights group, filed the initial lawsuit against Ali in 2006 in a U.S. civil court, calling him a “war criminal” who committed “crimes against humanity.” The case is now headed to the Supreme Court.
