Case Against US Soldier in Giuliana Sgrena Indcident Thrown Out
ROME (AP) - A court on Thursday threw out the case against a U.S. soldier charged in the 2005 shooting of an Italian intelligence agent in Iraq, a killing that infuriated Italians and soured relations with Washington.Predictably Sgrena saysThe court agreed with the defense argument that Italy had no jurisdiction in the case of Spc. Mario Lozano, a member of the New York-based 69th Infantry Regiment on trial in absentia on charges of murder and attempted murder for the shooting of Nicola Calipari, hailed as a hero by Italians for his role in the rescue of a kidnapped Italian journalist.
Prosecutor Pietro Saviotti said he would decide whether to appeal the ruling after the judges make public their reasoning within 60 days.
`We've given up trying to find the truth about what happened to Nicola Calipari,'' Sgrena told reporters at the courthouse on the capital's outskirts. ``The arrogance of America, which never wanted this trial, has won.'...Being an arrogant American Imperialist myself, I'm filing this under Imperial Good News.....Lozano, 38, has always denied wrongdoing, saying he had no choice but to fire. He has told U.S. media that he flashed a warning light signaling the vehicle to stop and that he shot first at the ground, and then at the car's engine.
