Tonight, April 13,  Sixty Minutes Wednesday will broadcast an interview with Giuliana Sgrena (8 p.m. ET/PT).

Most interestingly, the report does not include the claims of Sgrena and the surviving agent that the car was not speeding.  Although the U.S. Army declined requests for an interview, citing its ongoing investigation, the report presents an excuse for the shootings.  A former U.S. Marine captain, who was not present at the incident, attempts to make a reconstruction of events

This broadcast will air while Gianfranco Fini is on an official visit in Washington, where yesterday he met with Vice-President Cheney.  While preparing for a series of meetings in Washington, Fini declared that "our bilateral relations have never been so good."

19:41 Polo: "Nella concitazione avevo capito che c'era un altro ferito"

"Nella concitazione di quella giornata a palazzo Chigi avevamo capito che i feriti erano due, oltre a Giuliana. Mi sembrava fosse così". Lo ha detto il direttore del 'Manifesto' Gabriele Polo riferendosi alle fasi immediatamente successive alla sparatoria a Bagdad nel corso della quale è stato ucciso Nicola Calipari e ferita Giuliana Sgrena. Le frasi citate oggi da Polo hanno alimentato in questi giorni il giallo sulla presunta presenza di un quarto uomo a bordo dell'auto colpita dai soldati Usa.

Polo:  In the commotion of the day at Palazzo Chigi, we had understood that there were two people wounded other than Giuliana.  It seemed so to me.  So said the director of Manifesto, Gabriele Polo referring to the period immediately after the shooting in Baghdad in which Nicola Calipari was killed, and Giulian Sgrena wounded.  The phrases cited by Mr. Polo today had fed the mystery of the presumed presence of a fourth man in the auto hit by U.S. soldiers.
