BAGHDAD (Reuters) – The Iraqi government wants U.S. security firm Blackwater to pay $8 million in compensation to each of the families of 17 people killed in a shooting, a senior government source said on Tuesday.
The source said the figure was roughly in line with compensation paid by the Libyan government to the families of the 270 people killed in the 1988 Lockerbie airline bombing over Scotland.
“We want them to pay $8 million for each family,” the source told Reuters. “The same level as the compensation for the Lockerbie victims.”
