The Sgrena Hit : How They Did It

by Fintan Dunne - By combining photo evidence and eyewitness accounts of the Baghdad airport shooting in which Giuliana Sgrena was wounded and Nicola Calipari killed, a compelling picture of a precision ambush emerges.

The photos of the car taken from Italian television confirm this analysis. The driver's side tyre has clearly been shot out from the side. It has been pierced in the sidewall by a single shot. Nervous GI's in Iraq do not fire single shots at tyres. They fire fusilades. The same observation can be made about the overall lack of bullet damage to the car bodywork. This is inconsistent with a typical US military attack on a vehicle perceived to be a threat - no matter how many rounds were fired.
