阿聯酋已聘請黑水僱傭軍以平息可能的起義（檔案照片）
The founder of the notorious security company Blackwater is reportedly hired by the crown prince of Abu Dhabi to form a secret mercenary army in the UAE.
臭名昭著的黑水保安公司創辦人據說被阿布扎比王儲僱用，在阿聯酋組成一支秘密的僱傭軍。
The billionaire Erik Prince, who relocated to the UAE in 2010 in the wake of mounting legal problems in the United States, received over USD 500 million to organize an 800-member battalion of foreign troops in the Persian Gulf state, the New York Times reported on Saturday.
2010年因為堆積如山的法律問題從美國遷往阿聯酋的億萬富翁埃里克王子，收到超過5億美元在波斯灣國家組織一營800人的外國軍隊，紐約時報上週六報導。
Posing as construction workers, dozens of Colombian men entered the UAE last November and were stationed in an Emirati base called Zayed Military City.
冒充建築工人，幾十名哥倫比亞男子去年十一月進入阿聯酋和駐紮在被稱為扎耶德軍事城的阿聯酋基地。
The Colombians, along with South African and other foreign troops, are recruited and trained by retired American soldiers and veterans of the German and British special operations units and the French Foreign Legion, the daily said.
哥倫比亞人以及南非和其他外國軍隊，是由退休的美國士兵、德國退伍軍人、英國的特別行動部隊和法國外籍軍團招募和訓練，該日報說。
Documents show the force is intended to conduct special operations missions inside and outside the country, defend oil pipelines and skyscrapers from terrorist attacks, and quell possible uprisings across the state, it added.
文件顯示部隊旨在該國的內外進行特別行動任務，保衛石油管道和摩天大樓免受恐怖襲擊，並平息可能在全國的起義，它補充說。
The UAE is a close ally of the US and officials in the Obama administration said that Washington was informed about the program.
阿聯酋是美國一個親密盟友，和奧巴馬政府官員說華盛頓已獲悉有關計劃。
"The [Persian] Gulf countries and the UAE in particular, don't have a lot of military experience. It would make sense if they looked outside their borders for help," said one Obama administration official.
"They might want to show that they are not to be messed with.”
However, legal experts doubt that the project has the US official blessing as the company is already enmeshed with a series of scandals related to operations in Iraq, Afghanistan.
Blackwater, which was later renamed Xe Services, came to spotlight after its forces killed over a dozen civilians and injured many more in Iraq's capital Baghdad in 2007.
Blackwater mercenaries were hated by the Iraqis as they were able to kill many civilians with impunity.
