Italians to dispute US report on agent's shooting

Italy is expected to pick apart US conclusions on the shooting by American soldiers of an Italian agent in Baghdad, challenging a report that cleared US troops of any wrongdoing in the incident.

Italy said it would make public its own version of the dynamics surrounding the March 4 death of agent Nicola Calipari today. He had just won the release of an Italian hostage Giuliana Sgrena when he was shot at a temporary US checkpoint on the road to Baghdad airport.
