I was actually thinking about this myself. What probably happened, is that the terrorists negotiated with Italian/European socialists bent on the destruction of America. As part of the negotiations for the release of the reporter, they were instructed to rush the American checkpoint in an attempt to create an international incident to create more anti-American feeling. Any survivors were to deny that they did anything wrong, so that there would be outcry against the "trigger happy" or "spaced-out" American soldiers in Iraq. Looks like they succeded, score one for socialism and terrorism worldwide.
