Das Beamte besagte Blackwater muß das Land verlassen sobald eine Verbindung Iraqi-U.S. Ausschuß beendet, Richtlinien für Privatunternehmer unter der Sicherungsvereinbarung auszuarbeiten. Es ist unklar, wie lang das nimmt.

Abdul-Karim gesagtes Khalaf, private Sicherheit Firmen „ist unter der Berechtigung der irakischen Regierung, und jene Firmen, die nicht Lizenzen, wie Blackwater haben, sollten den Irak sofort verlassen.“ Die Zustand-Abteilung sagte Mittwoch, daß seine Fremdfirmen irakisches Gesetz befolgen. „Wir arbeiten mit der Regierung vom Irak und von unseren Fremdfirmen, zum der Implikationen dieser Entscheidung in einer Weise zu adressieren, die jede mögliche Auswirkung auf Sicherheit und Sicherheit des Botschaft Baghdad Personals herabsetzt,“ der gesagte Wortführer Noel Lehm. Blackwater Sprecherin Anne Tyrrell sagte, daß sie nicht die irakischen Entscheidung der Regierung berücksichtigte. „Es würde unverantwortlich sein, damit ich eine Entscheidung, die möglicherweise nicht erreicht worden sein kann oder kann,“ sie sagte in einer E-mail Mittwoch kommentiere. Die Vereinigten Staaten waren nicht imstande, die irakische Regierung zu überzeugen, um die Immunität seiner Fremdfirmen hinter dem Verfall des U.N. zu verlängern. Sicherheit Ratauflösung an Dez. 31. Kein amerikanischer Diplomat ist während der Missionen getötet worden, die von Blackwater gesichert werden. The North Carolina company became widely despised by Iraqis after a string of incidents during which its heavily armed guards were accused of using excessive force. The deadliest was the Sept. 16, 2007, shooting in Nisoor Square, in central Baghdad, when Blackwater guards opened fire on Iraqis in a crowded street, killing 17 civilians, after the guards’ convoy reportedly came under fire. The U.S. attorney’s office in Washington last month charged five of the men with voluntary manslaughter and using a machine gun to commit a violent act. The men entered not guilty pleas and are awaiting trial. A sixth guard reached a plea deal with prosecutors. Private security companies working for the U.S. government in Iraq have been required to obtain licenses from the Iraqi Interior Ministry since 2004, but some have operated without licenses, and until this year, there was little the Iraqi government could do to enforce the rule. The ministry revoked Blackwater’s license in September 2007 and threatened to expel the company’s employees, but U.S. officials ignored the order and renewed the company’s contract the following April. Iraqi officials said Wednesday they decided not to issue the company a new license largely because of the Nisoor Square shooting. “We informed the U.S. Embassy in Iraq about this decision, and they will have to find another company to replace them,” said Gen. Hussain Kamal, a senior Interior Ministry official. Blackwater employees were also accused of shooting Iraqi guards working for a television station in the spring of 2007. And on Dec. 24, 2006, a drunk Blackwater guard fatally shot a guard employed by Iraqi Vice President Adel Abdul Mahdi. According to a congressional report issued in October 2007, Blackwater guards have been involved in nearly 200 shootings in Iraq since 2005. The company has received more than $1 billion from the federal government since 2000. In recent months, however, Blackwater has expanded its business model to rely less heavily on private security work overseas. Though tremendously profitable, the field has generated an avalanche of bad publicity for the company and exposed it to numerous lawsuits. The two other large security companies that protect American diplomats in Iraq are DynCorp International and Triple Canopy, both based in Northern Virginia. Blackwater employees work under the supervision of the embassy’s regional security officer. The company’s drivers and bodyguards take U.S. diplomats to meetings outside the Green Zone, and its pilots often fly in small helicopters over convoys as an added security measure. The Blackwater employees live in a compound in the Green Zone that is informally referred to as “man camp.” According to the October 2007 congressional report, Blackwater guards made more than $1,200 per day. Private security contractors in Iraq last year became deeply concerned about losing their immunity with the implementation of the security agreement, which U.S. officials feared would trigger a mass exodus. But few have left. Instead, in recent months, Western private security companies have sought to build strong relationships with the Iraqi government and have hired more Iraqi guards. Sami Hawa Hamud al-Sabahin, who was among those wounded in the Nisoor Square shooting, said he was overjoyed to hear the news about Blackwater. “It makes me happy and lets me feel that the government didn’t forget us,” he said. Umm Tahsin , the widow of Ali Khalil Abdul Hussein, one of the men killed in the shooting, also applauded the government’s decision. But she lamented that neither the Iraqi nor the U.S. government has compensated her family for their loss. “Those people are a group of criminals,” she said of Blackwater. “What they did was a massacre. Pushing them out is the best solution. They destroyed our family.” Have Your Say: Iraq to Deny New License To Blackwater Mercenary Firm Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
