The Nisoor Square massacre: Blackwater Security guards (soldiers of fortune) shoot and kill 17 Iraqi citizens in Nisoor Sqsare, Baghdad, Iraq, many of them as they were trying to flee. One of the victims had his hands up in the air in an effort to surrender.
NOTE: Blackwater Guards are notorious for attempting to provoke Iraqi citizens for sport, from throwing frozen water bottles in an attempt to break windshields, to shooting overhead to instill fear and panic.
