Judge Drops Charges From Blackwater Deaths in Iraq



Blackwater had been involved in brutal killing of innocent Iraqis still the US judge has dropped all the charges against the killer private militia.

Iraqis on Friday greeted news that criminal charges in the United States had been dismissed against Blackwater Worldwide security guards who opened fire on unarmed Iraqi civilians in 2007 with disbelief, anger and bitter resignation.
Though the September 2007 shooting in a crowded central Baghdad traffic circle is regarded here as a signal event of the war, many victims had not been aware of the decision of a Federal District Court judge in Washington because the ruling was made public in Baghdad a few hours after the start of the new year.
