It was around noon in Baghdad on Sept. 16, 2007, when “Raven 23,” a four-SUV convoy and tactical support team for the private military company Blackwater, approached Nisoor Square.
Blackwater guards jumped out of the vehicles to stop traffic for a U.S. diplomatic team. At 12:08 p.m., Nicholas Slatten, the team’s sniper, began firing at a white Kia sedan.
Trump pardons Blackwater contractors convicted in deaths of 14 Iraqi civilians Karen DeYoung President Trump on Tuesday pardoned four U.S. security contractors convicted in the 2007 killing of 14 unarmed Iraqi civilians in Baghdad, abruptly ending a long legal saga and right-wing cause celebre. A White House statement said the pardons, on a list of 20 Trump granted with less than a month remaining in his presidency, were “broadly supported by the public,” specifically naming Fox News host Pete Hegseth and a number of conservative lawmakers. One of the contractors, Nicholas Slatten, has been serving a life sentence for first-degree murder. Three others Paul Slough, Evan Liberty and Dustin Heard were sentenced to between 12 and 15 years on manslaughter convictions.
