Knowing full well of the potential danger of a suicide car bomb attack. You signal and fire warning shots with no prevail of the vehicle stopping. What is your simple logic for that scenario? What would you do?
You can't just race your car to a military check point in a land were cars are used for suicide attacks on a routine bases. Its a awful mistake but the people in that car should of known better.
It was not intentional and you will have a hard time trying to convince any reasonable person otherwise.

Nobody said it was " intentional" , but when you put gung-ho " I'll nuke them" uneducated kids with weapons , it does happen:

In a 2003 friendly-fire incident involving Italians, American soldiers in northern Iraq shot at a car carrying the Italian official heading up U.S. efforts to recover Iraq's looted antiquities. Pietro Cordone, the top Italian diplomat in Iraq, was unhurt, but his Iraqi translator was killed.
Cordone, also the senior adviser for cultural affairs of the U.S. provisional authority, was traveling on the road between Mosul and Tikrit when his car was fired on at a U.S. roadblock, according to an Italian Foreign Ministry official.

What would have been the US reaction if it would have been a reversed situation : the car fires on the soldiers and kill one ??? I have a hell of a good idea.
