Blackwater’s CEO Erik Prince claims to be a “Christian Crusader” out to “eliminate Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe”. He describes staffers using call signs based on the Knights of the Templar, the warriors who fought the Crusades, and executives who routinely bragged about “lay[ing] Hajis out on cardboard”.
After Iraq & Afghanistan, Blackwater is now operating in Pakistan under the name of Xe Services
(Xe is pronounced Zee)
Companies falling under the Blackwater umbrella are now being called ‘Xe.’ 
Heavily armed Blackwater guards scan downtown Baghdad, Iraq, from a helicopter in 2003.
The job was assigned to Blackwater, now known as Xe Services, the company whose operations in Iraq had come under intense scrutiny. It was earlier hired by CIA for its secret (now abandoned) programme to eliminate top al-Qaida leaders.
Contractors of Xe Services assemble and load Hellfire missiles and 500-pound laser-guided bombs on remotely piloted Predator aircraft at hidden bases in Pakistan and Afghanistan, a work which was previously performed by CIA employees, The New York Times said quoting officials.
