US guards killed 14 Iraqis 'without cause'
Johnston, WashingtonNovember 15, 2007
FBI agents investigating the September 16 episode in which Blackwater security personnel shot and killed 17 Iraqi civilians have found that at least 14 of the shootings were unjustified.
Investigation of the fatal shootings in Baghdad is still under way, but the findings, which indicate the company's employees recklessly used lethal force, are already under review by the Justice Department.
Prosecutors have yet to decide whether to seek indictments, and some officials have expressed pessimism about whether adequate criminal laws exist to enable them to charge any Blackwater employee with criminal wrongdoing.
