Del Quentin Wilber, The Washington Post: "Five Blackwater Worldwide security guards charged in the shooting deaths of 14 Iraqi civilians last year turned themselves in to federal authorities in Salt Lake City this morning, according to their attorneys, and the Justice Department unsealed a 35-count indictment against them. The five guards were indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Washington in connection with the shooting, which occurred September 16, 2007, in Baghdad's bustling Nisoor Square."

Blackwater Guards "Used Grenades"

BBC News: "US guards indicted over the 2007 fatal shooting of 17 Iraqis used machine guns and grenade launchers against unarmed civilians, prosecutors have said.
