In Italy, the country’s foreign minister has demanded the Bush administration identify and punish those responsible for the killing of an Italian intelligence agent in Iraq. Last Friday, U.S. soldiers in Iraq shot at the car carrying Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena who had just been released after two months in captivity. Italian intelligence agent Nicola Calipari was killed as he tried to protect Sgrena from the bullets. Sgrena was wounded in the shoulder in the attack. Sgrena has said the U.S. likely targeted the car. White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said such an idea is “absurd.” Earlier today Italy’s foreign minister said he didn’t believe the attack was deliberate but said Washington and Rome have “different” versions of what happened.
