Kroll Denies Iraq, Afghanistan Pullout
Kroll, the security division of the Marsh & McLennan Companies, has issued a statement denying reports that it is planning to pull its international security services out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Company stated: “Kroll is remaining in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it has no intention of withdrawing any of its assets. Kroll staff are amongst the most professional, qualified and experienced in their field, and are distinguished for providing the highest quality security services globally. Kroll is fully committed to its clients that operate in Iraq and Afghanistan and will provide security services to them on an ongoing basis in these countries and in other locations worldwide.”
However, Kroll also indicated that it has “decided to refocus its security business and is considering the sale of its United Kingdom-based high-risk asset protection business, Kroll Security International.”
