A confidential report of the United Nations said the founder of US private military contractor, Blackwater, Erik Prince, violated UN arms embargo in Libya and tried to topple the Government of National Accord (GNA) twice in 2019. "As part of the operation, which the report said cost $80 million, the mercenaries also planned to form a hit squad that could track down and kill selected Libyan commanders." Despite confirmations by all hierarchical parties involved that [the government of Jordan] would support the Opus operation,” the report indicates. It added that the planned mercenary raid fell apart within days after the report was penned. Fearing that they might be arrested, the mercenaries left Libya in their inflatable vessels and fled to Malta.
