Aug. 20 (Bloomberg) -- The Central Intelligence Agency hired contractors from Blackwater USA, a private security company, under a plan to assassinate senior Al Qaeda members, the New York Times reported, citing current and former government officials.

Blackwater helped the agency with planning, training and surveillance in the multi-million dollar program, which did not capture or kill any terrorist suspects, the report said.

A spokesman for the parent company, which changed its name to Xe Services in February, was not immediately available for comment.
