Prosecution of five Blackwater employees could be thrown out over immunized statements A US District Court judge has barred the public from attending — or the media from reporting on — hearings in the trial of five Blackwater employees charged over the killing of 14 Iraqi civilians in Baghdad's Nisoor Square in 2007. A breaking story at the Washington Post reports that hearings to determine whether evidence against the accused was properly collected will be kept under wraps. At issue are statements the State Department collected from Blackwater immediately after the incident.
