Jan. 27, 2011 - A federal judge has ruled that a lawsuit involving the 2007 shootings of Iraqi civilians by an N.C.-based government contractor can move forward.
In an opinion made public Wednesday in Raleigh, Judge Terrence Boyle wrote that the suit against the company formerly known as Blackwater could be heard in state court.
The decision keeps open the last remaining lawsuit stemming from the Sept. 16, 2007, Nisoor Square incident in Baghdad in which 30 civilians were killed or injured. Five Blackwater guards were blamed in 14 deaths.
Charlotte attorneys Paul Dickinson and Gary Mauney are representing six victims or their families.
A spokesperson for Blackwater, now known as Xe Services, did not return phone calls seeking comment. The company's attorney, Andrew Pincus, also did not return calls.
The contractor had asked Boyle to throw out the lawsuit, arguing that it has immunity from lawsuits because its workers performed duties for the U.S. government. Blackwater also asked the judge to make the government the defendant in the suit instead of the company. {continued}
