Italy and U.S. 'Disagree over Agent Death Findings'

One report said Italian experts on the panel were refusing to sign off on the US conclusions.

But Rome daily Il Messaggero reported that the two Italian experts had decided not to sign off on the conclusions.

The Italians “didn’t accept any compromise and have abandoned the common (working) table,” Il Messaggero said.

Rome prosecutors are conducting their own probe. Il Messaggero quoted Prosecutor Franco Ionta as saying he hoped that with the end of the US-Italian probe, the prosecutors would be able to take delivery of the Toyota to examine it.

I'd sure like to know what really happened, and why.

Even to the Italians.

the list just keeps growing

This kind of wrangling and cover upping just screams of ill intentions, to me.

They still haven't let the Italians see the car.

since junior hijacked the White House.

May I recommend withdrawing your troops?

"Hmmmmmm, I think the Italians are not happy about the Calipari thing."
:thumbsup:

Italy is still under US occupation. They have been since they surrendered after WW II. About all they can do is whine about it. And that gets old after a while. Italy had better watch what they say and just STFU.

ROME (AP) - Italy and the United States disagree over the findings of an investigation into the accidental shooting death by U.S. soldiers of an Italian intelligence agent in Baghdad, news reports said Monday.

One report said Italians on the panel were refusing to sign off on the U.S. conclusions.

Italian state TV said both sides were trying for last-minute mediation to reconcile ``contrasting versions'' of the shooting by Italian and U.S. investigators.

The agent, Nicola Calipari, has been hailed as a national hero in Italy since he died on March 4 as he tried to shield a freed Italian hostage he was accompanying to the Baghdad airport shortly after she was released by her kidnappers.

Without citing sources, Rome daily Il Messaggero said the American conclusions ``exculpate from every accusation'' the U.S. soldiers.
