Slain diplomats' car points to drive-by The bullets fired at a Toyota Land Cruiser carrying two Japanese diplomats ambushed in Iraq last November were shot from a height of about 1 meter and a distance of no more than 4 meters, the Metropolitan Police Department said April 5. The findings, based on a police inspection of the car, cast doubt on speculation that the shots were mistakenly fired by U.S. forces. The vehicle was riddled with 36 bullets, most of which were fired horizontally or from a low angle. The machineguns mounted on U.S. military vehicles are about 2 meters from the ground.
