San Diego officials say they're going to fight security contractor Blackwater Worldwide's permit to build an indoor military training facility in the city.
The Developmental Services Department granted the permit March 19 without public hearings.
City Council president Scott Peters says Blackwater used the name of a subcontractor when it filed for the permit to expand a 61,000-square-foot vocational training facility in the Otay Mesa area. His staff is researching ways to challenge the permit.
Blackwater vice president Brian Bonfiglio says his company will fight if the city tries to backpedal. He says the anti-Blackwater movement stems from anti-war sentiment, not a problem with the facility.
