The Blackwater employees have reportedly been sent “target letters” by US prosecutors telling them that they could face charges for opening fire at the crowded intersection on September 16 last year.该黑水雇员据报道，被送往“目标信件” ，由美国检察官告诉他们，他们可能面临的收费，开放消防在拥挤的交叉口9月16日去年。
The move was welcomed by human rights activists, who have long complained about US private security in Iraq.此举是欢迎的人权活动家，谁早已抱怨，美国的私人保安在伊拉克。
“It’s incredibly important that these incidents are not beyond the law. “令人难以置信的重要的是，这些事件是不是超越法律。 It certainly would be a step in the right direction if the US would go ahead and bring charges,” said Jennifer Daskal, of Human Rights Watch, who has interviewed the traffic policeman on duty in Nisoor Square at the time of the shooting.它肯定将是一个正确方向迈出的一步，如果美国将继续和带来的收费，说： “珍妮佛daskal ，人权观察，谁采访了该交警执勤时在nisoor广场上的时候，射击。 “This is definitely the most high-profile case of contractor abuse in Iraq, but it’s certainly not the only one.” “这肯定是最高调案件承办虐待在伊拉克，但它肯定不是只有一个” 。
The shootings sparked a crisis in relations between the US and the Iraqi Government, which threatened to expel Blackwater.枪击事件引发的危机之间的关系，美国和伊拉克政府，扬言要驱逐黑水。 In negotiations on a new bilateral security agreement, the Iraqis have pressed for all foreign personnel to be subject to Iraqi law.在谈判一项新的双边安全协议，伊拉克人已经敦促所有外国工作人员要受伊拉克法律。
Washington has agreed to place contractors under Iraqi jurisdiction, but is still refusing to allow Iraq to put US troops or officials on trial.华盛顿已同意的地方，承建商根据伊拉克的司法管辖权，但仍然拒绝让伊拉克向美军或政府官员进行审判。 Blackwater, based in North Carolina, has announced that it is moving out of private security and will concentrate on training, aviation and logistics.黑水，总部设在北卡罗莱纳州已经宣布，它正在走出私人保安，并会专注于训练，航空及物流。

In remarks prepared for a congressional hearing but never delivered because of the investigation, Erik Prince, the chairman of Blackwater, claimed that the guards had “returned fire at threatening targets”, including “men with AK47s firing on the convoy” and “approaching vehicles that appeared to be suicide car bombers”.在讲话中准备了国会听证会，但从未发表，因为有关调查，埃里克王子，主席黑水声称，看守人员曾“归侨，火灾威胁的目标” ，包括“男人与ak47s开枪射击车队”和“接近车辆这似乎是自杀式汽车炸弹“ 。
Witnesses said that the four-car convoy, protected by two helicopters, did a U-turn and started going the wrong way round the square before stopping in the middle and opening fire without provocation.目击者说，四车的车队，所保护的两架直升机，做了掉头，并开始走错误的方式全面广场前停车，在中东和开放消防无挑衅。

Contractors hired by the US Defence Department can be prosecuted in US courts for crimes committed overseas under the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act of 2000.承建商所聘用的美国国防部可以被检控，在美国法院犯下的罪行，根据海外的军事域外管辖权的行为， 2000年。 That law was expanded in 2004 to include contractors working “in support” of the Pentagon.该法是在2004年扩大到包括承包商的工作“在支持”的五角大楼。
A federal grand jury has heard testimony from three dozen people, but a decision about whether to indict the Blackwater guards may not be made until October, the newspaper said.一个联邦大陪审团听取的证词从三十几人，但决定是否起诉黑水员不得作出，直到10月，该报说。 Experts compare the case to a police shooting where an officer is accused of using excessive force, but say it will be even harder to prove in a US court.专家比较案件一警察开枪射击的地方一主任被指控过度使用武力，但说这将是更难证明在美国法院。
The victims’ families have been offered $10,000 (about £5,400) compensation for each person killed, but most have refused what one called “blood money”.遇难者家属已提供一点〇 〇万美元（约5400英镑）的补偿，每个人丧生，但大多数人都拒绝什么所谓的“血钱” 。 The families are suing Blackwater in the US courts.家属起诉黑水在美国法院。
Anne Tyrell, a Blackwater spokeswoman, said: “If it is determined that an individual acted improperly, Blackwater would support holding that person accountable.安妮tyrell ，黑水发言人说： “如果确定个人行事不当，黑水会支持，认为人的责任。 But at this stage, without being able to review evidence collected in an ongoing investigation, we will not prejudge the actions of any individual.”但在这个阶段，而不能够审查收集的证据进行中的调查，我们不会预先判断的行动，任何个人“ 。
