U.S. soldier filmed scene after Iraq killing (of Italian agent)

14 minutes ago
ROME (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier who fatally shot an Italian
intelligence agent at an Iraqi checkpoint two years ago filmed
the scene moments after firing, an Italian television channel
said, showing footage from his video.
The hazy footage showed a white car with bright headlights
stopped at the side of a road with an open door, while voices
of U.S. soldiers could be heard in the background.
The lawyer for the U.S. soldier who fired on the car, Mario
Lozano, told ANSA news agency that Lozano himself delivered
the video to Italy's TG5 channel. Italian prosecutors
investigating the case immediately seized the tape, judicial
sources said.
The video comes after Lozano went on trial in absentia in
Italy last month for firing at the car carrying agent Nicola
Calipari and newly freed Italian hostage Giuliana Sgrena to
Baghdad airport in March 2005.
