I could be wrong but it still seems like another deadly unfortunate incident in a war zone. The Italians probably should have requested an escourt, especially since they were traveling after dark. People do stupid things when they are in a hurry and I think there is some blame to be shared by both the Italians and the U.S. Armed Forces,

No one deserved to die, of course, and this incident will receive much more attention as it's been pointed out than if it happened to an Iraqi.
