If the Italian version of events is true, it would hardly be the first time that trigger happy soldiers have - without warning - shot the hell out of a car & its occupants at a checkpoint in Iraq.
Apparently the US 3rd Infantry Division (who where responsible for this shooting) have something of a history of ''malloting'' cars at checkpoints.
