Italian agent's death: U.S. soldier acquitted
ROME, Italy (CNN) -- An Italian judge Thursday acquitted a U.S. soldier accused of killing an Italian intelligence agent in Iraq, saying Italy has no jurisdiction in the case.
Prosecutor Franco Ionta would not comment on the decision, but said the reasons behind it would be made public in the next few weeks.
Spc. Mario Lozano of the New York Army National Guard was indicted in February by an Italian judge on charges of homicide and attempted homicide for the fatal shooting of an Italian intelligence agent in Iraq.
There was no extradition request and Lozano was expected to be tried in absentia.
