Italian Intelligence should have turned the hostage over to us for transport and she should have been riding in the armored vehicle instead of being shot at by it. Its very possible that their heroics and lack of coordination got one of their own killed. It sucks to be them. Didn't the same thing nearly happen to French intelligence who were operating in Iraq independent of us on a hostage deal???

They probably wanted it to look like an entirely Italian operation, no American help. Well they made a mistake and they payed for it.
