BAGHDAD, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Iraq's government said on Sunday the death toll from last month's shooting involving Blackwater security guards stood at 17, six more than it had previously said, and accused the guards of "deliberate killing".

Spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said in a statement that an investigative committee set up by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki had found no evidence that the private American security firm Blackwater had come under fire during the incident.
