"Selva claimed that the attack on the Toyota Corolla carrying Sgrena and Nicola Calipari, the intelligence officer, to Baghdad airport had been prompted by a satellite monitoring system. This detected that their vehicle did not have clearance from US military authorities. A signal alerted a mobile checkpoint near the airport and its soldiers opened fire."

This stupid bitch would be dead already if the US Army was guilty of what she has alleged.

I don't know. I am thinking something like On-Star or a IFF system. It is possible that some of our cars over there are equipped with that and if this car didn't have it and was hurling toward the checkpoint then that would be a good reason to open fire.
