Blackwater denies covert CIA help
It reported that the raids revealed a greater level of involvement between the spy agency and Blackwater than previously acknowledged by either.
Blackwater said it was "never under contract to participate in covert raids with CIA or Special Operations".
It was employed to provide security at bases for CIA staff.
In response to the New York Times article, a spokesman for Blackwater - now called Xe Services - said: "Blackwater USA was never under contract to participate in covert raids with CIA or Special Operations personnel in Iraq, Afghanistan or anywhere else.
"Any allegation to the contrary by any news organisation would be false."
