Prosecution witnesses in Blackwater trial raise claims
Defense lawyers for the ex Blackwater guards in the Baghdad killings suggest prosecution witnesses may have been coached by Iraqi investigators to fabricate stories. The defense highlighted witnesses like Mohammad Kinani Al Razzaq who described meetings with Iraqi police Colonel Faris Karim and alleged police assurances that Blackwater lied. Kinani reported to the FBI about a 2012 call, while Raven 23 members deny guilt, insisting there was incoming fire and self defense.
