Iraq takes steps to 'bring Blackwater to justice'

BAGHDAD-Iraq said on Friday it had begun taking steps to "bring Blackwater to justice" over the deaths of 14 civilians in 2007, one of the bloodiest incidents involving a private security firm in the country.A US court decision on Thursday to drop charges against five Blackwater security guards accused of the deaths has unleashed anger in Baghdad.
Human Rights Minister Wejdan Mikhail told AFP she was "astonished" by the decision to dismiss the criminal charges against the guards."There was so much work done to prosecute these people and to take this case into court and I don't understand why the judge took this decision," she said.
Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said "the Iraqi government has started to take the necessary measures to bring Blackwater to justice for the killing of 17 Iraqi citizens"...
