Pentagon: Blackwater Guards Fired Unprovoked

HeadlineOct 05, 2007

Meanwhile, evidence continues to emerge the Blackwater shooting was unprovoked. A newly disclosed Pentagon report from the attack scene says Blackwater guards were the first to fire and used excessive force. The reports follow evidence showing the Blackwater guards opened fire in another attack just minutes after the first shooting. Iraqi witnesses say Blackwater operatives fired into a group of cars just 150 yards away from the first shooting at Nisoor Square. At least one person was killed and two injured.
