Italian Journalist Giuliana Sgrena: Attempted Assassination?
Advertisements [?]
ROME, Italy (CNN) -- Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena has challenged the U.S. account of a shooting incident that left her wounded and an Italian intelligence officer dead shortly after her release by Iraqi insurgents.

U.S.-led multi-national forces said the car carrying Sgrena was speeding and that soldiers fired warning shots in an attempt to stop it, before opening fire.

But in an article for Sunday's edition of her newspaper, Il Manifesto, Sgrena, being treated for a shoulder injury, in a Rome hospital, said the car was not speeding and "there was no bright light and no signal."

Somebody should ask that question. Someone isn't telling the truth should we assume it is the victim?
