Additional relevant description from CNN:
- According to a multinational forces statement, the car approached the checkpoint at high speed about 9 p.m. (1 p.m. ET)
U.S. troops "attempted to warn the driver to stop by hand and arm signals, flashing white lights, and firing warning shots in front of the car," the statement said. "When the driver didn't stop, the soldiers shot into the engine block, which stopped the vehicle, killing one and wounding two others."
Of course, had they known they were italian, it would have appeared to be normal driving, and unworthy of concern.

I wonder how involved the Italian forces were in the preparation of that statement. And why was the secret service guy in the engine block? That turns out to have been a dumb place to hide.
