外电报道如下：Left-wing journalist Giuliana Sgrena claimed American soldiers gave no warning before they opened fire and said Sunday she could not rule out that U.S. forces intentionally shot at the car carrying her to the Baghdad airport, wounding her and killing the Italian agent who had just won her freedom after a month in captivity.

　　The White House called the shooting a "horrific accident" and restated its promise to investigate fully.

　　Sgrena's editor at the daily Il Manifesto, Gabriele Polo, said Italian officials told him 300-400 rounds were fired at the car. Italian military officials said two other intelligence agents were wounded in the shooting; U.S. officials said only one other agent was hurt.

　　Without backing up the claim, Sgrena said she believed it was possible she was targeted because the United States objected to methods used to secure her release.

　　Round在此表示“（弹药的）一发”，例如：I've only 2 rounds left.（我只剩下两发子弹了。）据斯格雷纳回忆，她所乘坐的车辆在距离巴格达机场700米处遭到美军的弹雨狙击，大约有三四百发子弹向座车疯狂扫射。
