A mysterious blast at the Carabinieri paramilitary police killed a member of the police Wednesday and wounded another in Latonia city's camp, south of the Italian capital. A statement by the police, affiliated to the armed forces, said that Alberto Andrioli died as a result of the explosion at Vittoriano Cimmarusti camp's communications room. Initial reports suggested that the blast was a result of a bomb hidden in an envelope in the mail room.
The police's statement, however, said that an explosion took place in another site, raising possibilities that a bomb might have been dropped from outside the camp's fence on "Nasiriah Martyrs" yard. The statement said the blast slightly wounded another soldier, who is currently in the city's hospital. There are ongoing investigations over the incident, it added. |
