Ugh, i really hope some more information comes out on this story.
there is too little data to really direct blame, and unfortunately i fully expect this story to be buried (at least here in the US) within 2 weeks time. By then we'll all be distracted by some other event and im sure this will be long since forgotten.

Who says there were terrorists in that car?
They were inteligence agents.

. . . Not very good ones, apparently.
How much intelligence does it take to realize that driving at high speeds toward a military checkpoint is not a good idea?
On the news it was said that the US troops fired 400 to 500 shots towards the car

There are certain procedures you have to follow when approaching a checkpoint.
The only one to blame is the Italian Secret Service Agent breaking the rules.

Ok...
1. Why fire so many warning shots?
2. Why doesn't the FBI or any other intelligence agency let local law enforcement know when they are conducting a mission in their jurisdiction?
But hey, they were asking for it. If 4-500 warning shots don't let you know something's up, it isn't the soldiers' fault, is it? Especially if those warning shots "kill" you. Hell of a warning if you ask me...
