US 'to drop Blackwater in Iraq'
 |
Blackwater should be dropped as the main private security contractor for US diplomats in Iraq, a US State Department panel has recommended.
Its report, commissioned by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, says the company's contract should not be renewed when it expires next year.
Ms Rice ordered the review after Backwater guards killed 17 Iraqi civilians in Baghdad in September 2007.
Five guards have been charged with manslaughter over the shootings.
