US President Donald Trump has pardoned four former Blackwater security guards convicted over their involvement in the killing of 14 Iraqi civilians in 2007.
Nicholas Slatten, Paul Slough, Evan Liberty and Dustin Heard opened fire in Baghdad's Nisoor Square while escorting an American diplomatic convoy.
The White House said the pardons were supported by the public and lawmakers.
But the father of a boy who died called them "indescribable" and a rights group said Mr Trump had hit a "new low".
There was no immediate response from the Iraqi government.
