Thats an very gray area. It's almost like saying that if an American citizen is robbed and Killed in Peru then the FBI should have Jurisdiction of the investigation.
The Reporter incident is even Grayer because it occured in a combat zone. How does Italy claim jurisdiction based solely on Citizenship?
As far as signing of the ICC. I still believe that handing over Judical control of Military Troops to a nonmilitary Court/Tribunal is tantamount to relinquishing control of your Military and saying you cannot handle their discipline.
