Italy soldier dies in accident in Iraq exercise

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/world/iraq/20050315-0701-iraq-italy-soldier.html

<snip>They said the soldier, Salvatore Marracino, was first taken to a field hospital and then flown to a hospital in Kuwait City, where he died of injuries to the head.

Deputy Prime Minister Marco Follini told parliament that Marracino died when his rifle went off accidentally while he was trying to unblock it.

Was this guy looking down the barrel while trying to un-jam his gun?
