18 June 2014 - A US government prosecutor on Tuesday chronicled for a jury the alleged conduct of four Blackwater security guards accused of killing 14 Iraqis and wounding 18 others in downtown Baghdad nearly seven years ago.
In opening statements at the trial of the four guards, assistant US attorney T Patrick Martin said some of the victims were "simply trying to get out" of the way of gunfire from Blackwater guards. "Fourteen died, 18 injured. For what?" he said.

Immediately after the shootings at Nisoor Square on 16 September 2007 as soon as the guards got back to their base, they participated in a lie that there were insurgents in the area, said Martin
