An Italian court has dismissed the absentia trial of the U.S. soldier accused of killing the Italian intelligence agent Nicola Calipari. Mario Lozano allegedly shot Calipari as he escorted the then-newly freed Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena to the airport. Italian ballistics experts have concluded that their car was driving at a normal speed and that U.S. soldiers gave no warnings before opening fire. The Bush administration has refused to hand Lozano over for trial. Lawyers say the court dismissed the case because it agreed with defense arguments to not having jurisdiction.
