ROME - Rome prosecutors Monday called for US soldier Mario Lozano to be tried for the shooting of Italian intelligence officer Nicola Calipari in Baghdad, the Italian news agency Ansa reported.
Calipari, 51, was shot dead at a US roadblock in March 2005 while he was accompanying Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena following her release by kidnappers.
Ansa said Rome prosecutor Giovanni Ferrara and three magistrates had signed the request for Lozano to be put on trial, which will be considered by a judge.
