Apparently it was an attempted assignation of US State Department officials...

The Washington Post ^ | Sept 17, 2007 | Joshua Partlow
BAGHDAD, Sept. 17 - A U.S. State Department motorcade came under attack in Baghdad on Sunday, prompting security contractors guarding the convoy to open fire in the streets. At least nine civilians were killed, according to Iraqi officials.

Civilians? I don't think so.

No wonder the Iraqis are bitchin’, they must be trying to mis-direct the attention away from the assignation attempt.

When folks know what really happened I bet they will be thumping on the Iraqi’s honchos as to just who tried to whack some US State Department officials and why are they trying to blame Blackwater…

I wouldn't mess with the Blackwater boyz. From what I've been privy to, they can unleash all hell if provoked......
