Italy prosecutor to appeal dismissal of murder charge against US soldier

Italian prosecutor Franco Ionta said Friday that he would "almost certainly" appeal a Rome court's October 2007 dismissal of a criminal case against US Army Spc. Mario Lozano for the murder of Italian intelligence agent Nicola Calipari and the attempted murders of agent Andrea Carpani and Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena. The comment came after the court released a statement of reasons for its ruling stating that it lacked jurisdiction to try the US soldier.
