Various of coffin being carried towards waiting vehicle STORYLINE: A Bulgarian soldier killed last week in Iraq was probably shot by troops from the US-led coalition, Defence Minister Nikolai Svinarov said on Monday. "The results (of the investigation) give us enough reason to believe the death of private Gardi Gardev was caused by friendly fire," Svinarov told reporters. He said that, last Friday, a Bulgarian patrol was approached by a civilian Iraqi car. The car did not stop after the patrol gave a signal and the servicemen consequently fired warning shots in the air from the north. After the warning shots, the patrol became the target of overwhelming gunfire from the west, he said. A communication site of the US army is located some 150 metres (yards) away in the same direction, the minister added. Initial reports had said that the soldier was killed in a shootout with insurgents near the central Iraqi city of Diwaniya. Svinarov said that the chief of staff of the Bulgarian army, General Nikola Kolev had sent a letter to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Richard B. Myers, asking for an investigation to be carried out. Bulgaria - a staunch US ally since the beginning of the Iraq war - has a 460-strong infantry battalion in the Iraqi city of Diwaniya, serving under Polish command. The troops'' current mandate ends in mid-2005. Private Gardev was the eighth Bulgarian victim in Iraq. His remains were flown back to Sofia late on Sunday on a special military flight. The funeral will be on Tuesday in his home village of Dolno Sahrane, in central Bulgaria.

The state funeral of Nicola Calipari in the Santa Maria degli Angeli Church in downtown Rome drew Italian Prime-Minister Silvio Berlusconi, President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi and other top officials including U.S. Ambassador Mel Sembler and Rome Mayor Walter Veltroni. An honour guard slowly carried the casket draped with an Italian flag into the church, where mourners who jammed the pews stood to applaud. In the front row, Calipari's relatives gripped each other's hands and dabbed away tears. The funeral came after Calipari's body lay in state at Rome's Vittoriano monument, with tens of thousands of people streaming past the flag-draped coffin since the body was returned from Iraq on Saturday night. Meanwhile, the hostage whose life Calipari saved said it was possible they were targeted deliberately because the United States opposes Italy's policy of negotiating with kidnappers, and promised Calipari's widow to find out why they were attacked. Giuliana Sgrena, a journalist who was abducted on 4 February in Baghdad, was recovering in a Rome hospital from a shrapnel wound to the shoulder and was not expected to attend the funeral. Calipari was killed when U.S. troops at a checkpoint fired at their vehicle on Friday as they headed to the airport shortly after her release. Calipari was to be awarded a gold medal of valour for heroism. An autopsy was performed on Sunday, and the Italian news agency ANSA quoted doctors as saying Calipari was struck in the temple by a single round and Page: 3 Dopesheet Printed: 07/03/2005 17:03:54 050307#060 Italian news agency ANSA quoted doctors as saying Calipari was struck in the temple by a single round and died instantly. Sgrena said Calipari died shielding her. She offered no evidence to support her claim that the attack was deliberate, and in an interview published in Monday's edition of the daily Corriere della Sera, she said she doesn't know what led to the attack. 12:16:24 050307#038 Name: 050307#038 Title: IRAQ BAQOUBA 2 APTN 1030G Type: APTN FEED In point: 10:51:56.25 Out point: 10:53:48.11 Duration: 00:01:51.14 Clip Locations BROWSE,PDR A Tape ID 2035 Source APTN Notes Dopesheet APTN-1030: +Iraq Baqouba 2 Monday, 07 March 2005 STORY: +Iraq Baqouba 2 - WRAP Scene of car bomb attack, wounded in hospital LENGTH: 1:51 FIRST RUN: 1030 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 443850 DATELINE: Baqouba, 7 March 2005 SHOTLIST: (First Run1030 ME Europe Prime News, 7 March 2005) 1.

"The results (of the investigation) give us enough reason to believe the death of private Gardi Gardev was caused by friendly fire," Svinarov told reporters. He said that, last Friday, a Bulgarian patrol was approached by a civilian Iraqi car. The car did not stop after the patrol gave a signal and the servicemen consequently fired warning shots in the air from the north. After the warning shots, the patrol became the target of overwhelming gunfire from the west, he said. A communication site of the US army is located some 150 metres (yards) away in the same direction, the minister added. Initial reports had said that the soldier was killed in a shootout with insurgents near the central Iraqi city of Diwaniya. Svinarov said that the chief of staff of the Bulgarian army, General Nikola Kolev had sent a letter to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Richard B. Myers, asking for an investigation to be carried out. Bulgaria - a staunch US ally since the beginning of the Iraq war - has a 460-strong infantry battalion in the Iraqi city of Diwaniya, serving under Polish command. The troops' current mandate ends in mid-2005. Private Gardev was the eighth Bulgarian victim in Iraq. His remains were flown back to Sofia late on Sunday on a special military flight.

The state funeral of Nicola Calipari in the Santa Maria degli Angeli Church in downtown Rome drew Italian Prime-Minister Silvio Berlusconi, President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi and other top officials including U.S. Ambassador Mel Sembler and Rome Mayor Walter Veltroni. An honour guard slowly carried the casket draped with an Italian flag into the church, where mourners who jammed the pews stood to applaud. In the front row, Calipari's relatives gripped each other's hands and dabbed away tears. The funeral came after Calipari's body lay in state at Rome's Vittoriano monument, with tens of thousands of people streaming past the flag-draped coffin since the body was returned from Iraq on Saturday night. Meanwhile, the hostage whose life Calipari saved said it was possible they were targeted deliberately because the United States opposes Italy's policy of negotiating with kidnappers, and promised Calipari's widow to find out why they were attacked. Giuliana Sgrena, a journalist who was abducted on 4 February in Baghdad, was recovering in a Rome hospital from a shrapnel wound to the shoulder and was not expected to attend the funeral. Calipari was killed when U.S. troops at a checkpoint fired at their vehicle on Friday as they headed to the airport shortly after her release. Calipari was to be awarded a gold medal of valour for heroism. An autopsy was performed on Sunday, and the Italian news agency ANSA quoted doctors as saying Calipari was struck in the temple by a single round and Page: 3 Dopesheet Printed: 07/03/2005 17:03:54 050307#060 Italian news agency ANSA quoted doctors as saying Calipari was struck in the temple by a single round and died instantly. Sgrena said Calipari died shielding her. She offered no evidence to support her claim that the attack was deliberate, and in an interview published in Monday's edition of the daily Corriere della Sera, she said she doesn't know what led to the attack. 12:16:24 050307#038 Name: 050307#038 Title: IRAQ BAQOUBA 2 APTN 1030G Type: APTN FEED In point: 10:51:56.25 Out point: 10:53:48.11 Duration: 00:01:51.14 Clip Locations BROWSE,PDR A Tape ID 2035 Source APTN Notes Dopesheet APTN-1030: +Iraq Baqouba 2 Monday, 07 March 2005 STORY: +Iraq Baqouba 2 - WRAP Scene of car bomb attack, wounded in hospital LENGTH: 1:51 FIRST RUN: 1030 RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Natsound SOURCE: APTN STORY NUMBER: 443850 DATELINE: Baqouba, 7 March 2005 SHOTLIST: (First Run1030 ME Europe Prime News, 7 March 2005) 1.
