"Paid security guards". Do you know that they were not mercenaries? What were their specific duties? Who were they answering to? What is your source? (And if you say the Military, that won't suffice as their credibility is

Mercenary. Def: Motivated solely by a desire for monetary or material gain.
Hired for service in a foreign army.

Are you saying that the "contractors" don't fit the definition above?
