Just posted this on another thread for discussion; thought I'd post it here as well. As I'm looking at the pics here and on the other thread (
Sgrena's Car!) and trying to reconstruct the "crime scene", here's what I'm wondering about. The bullet holes all look to be towards the front of the car, with some on the driver's side and one that went directly through the driver's windshield near the wiper, if I'm interpreting the circle in one of the photos correctly. According to Sgrena's account,
"Nicola Calipari sat next to me. . .The driver started yelling that we were Italians. 'We are Italians, we are Italians.' Nicola Calipari threw himself on me to protect me and immediately, I repeat, immediately I heard his last breath as he was dying on me." Now it appears Calipari, the slain agent, was distinct from the driver, for the driver was quoted in an interview after the incident: "According to Italy's leading daily Corriere della Sera, the driver, an unidentified Italian agent, said: 'We were driving slowly, about 40-50 km/h (25-30 mph).'":
Italian journalist freed in Iraq. So were Sgrena and Calipari squeezed into the front with the driver or in the back seat? If in the back, where are the bullet holes for the shots that killed Calipari? If in front, and if there's a bullet hole in the driver side of the windshield, how is it the driver's alive to be interviewed but Calipari's the one who's dead?
