"How would the American soldiers have known that this particular car was the one with these specific Italians in it. " Having passed through previous checkpoints, how could they not?

and that they were expected by both the Italians and Americans How would the American soldiers have known that this particular car was the one with these specific Italians in it. Because everybody and their brother knew they were coming. There wasn't exactly a big sign on the car saying "here is the release Italian hostage", or "in this car there is a writer for the communist newspaper Il Manifesto". Let me see........I believe there are still few if any commercial flights are in and out of Baghdad airport. That means not a lot of car travel to the airport. It was night time. Most flights take off during the day due to fears of rocket attacks. The Italians had already gone through 2 or 3 checkpoints. The Americans had been alerted that the Italians were coming. No, there wasn't a big sign.....you're right. So what? If you think the car was actually tracked then you don't have a few soldiers taking out a journalist but an organized conspiracy, which is even less likely. I never said it was a conspiracy. What's with you guys and conspiracies. I think its a case of a woman reasonably being pissed for being shot at, plus having a dislike for the fact that American soldiers are in Iraq in the first place, letting her emotion and bias take over and deciding that the Americans where trying to kill her. Thanks for your POV. Now what do you think about the claims from the Bulgarians........more foreign hogwash? voanews.com ted
