'm amazed! I remain thrilled! After 3 ½ years by the attack in Nasiriyah that we all remember well, killing a total of "12 carabinieri, five soldiers and two Italian civilians" is discovered not only that there was a process (which, incidentally, also fairly obvious) but that is still open and that hear hear, is required for the guilt of "senior" Italians.
The news, of course, gone unnoticed by all the major news, as they were too busy to find puppies of endangered tiger and kisses sold at auction for figures from capital: they have come to know only the paper version of the Courier, bound in a short article in the 15th page. To you the text, taken from the archives of Corriere :
'Nasiriyah, the base was not sure "Asked the process for three officers
ROME - Base Mistral, in Nasiriyah, not was protected adequately. This is the conclusion that now is the Military Prosecutor Antonino Intelisano: closing the 'inquiry launched after' attack by Islamic terrorists linked to al Qaeda on 12 November 2003 which killed 12 policemen, Five soldiers and two Italian civilians sought the indictment of three senior officers accused of culpably failed to devise appropriate measures to ensure safety. The defendants are the generals of the Army 'Vincenzo Lops (then commander of the Italian troops in Nasiriyah and currently placed in command of the ISAF mission in Afghanistan), his successor, Bruno Stano (now deputy chief of staff to the Employment Department Staff' s Army) and Colonel Georg Pauli, at the 'master of the MSU era (the' Multinational Specialised unit of 'weapon which had its headquarters in Base Mistral) and now commander of the provincial police in Verona. "I can only express my confidence and my respect towards military justice, enjoying the same guarantees of independence of the ordinary justice, is responsible for the reconstruction of the events which gave 'rise to the tragedy of Nasiriyah, "said Defence Minister Arturo Parisi. "At the same time - said - let me repeat my personal closeness to those in those events was the target of 'criminal action of a hand and a murderous intention, to the victims, their families and to those in different positions are were involved. " The defender Di Pauli, David Brunelli 'is convinced that no criticism about the defensive strategies and methods adopted by the Italian Carabinieri base in Nasiriyah can be moved to the colonel, taking account the usual fees for a declaration of guilt. " And while Mark Intravaia, the son of a corporal killed in 'attack, claimed to be "confident in' the prosecution team," but added that "if the responsible officials of the military base were wrong, then they pay is fair," the statutory ten families of victims of the massacre, Francesca Grace Conte, has announced its intention to establish a civil party, "Now justice is done." The prosecutor's request "opens new scenarios on the family as they truly want to understand their dead loved ones and whether the conduct of their superiors omission may have amplified the consequences of 'attack', said the Count. According to the which "the children died in Nasiriyah are heroes because they have gone twice in a dangerous country on a peace mission and why they stayed in a totally lacks the necessary security safeguards. Only a few days ago - said the lawyer - have urged the recognition of the coin 's Golden military valor to the memory for the victims of the massacre: now we wish you a gesture of sensitivity by the Minister of Defense. " The decision of the military judiciary has provoked mixed reactions. "It catches me totally by surprise," the senator said of the PRC and a member of the Defence Committee Lidia Menapace. "I'm shocked," he replied Margherita Boniver, head of foreign Forza Italy. "It's one of the usual c. .. of these useless, dangerous and harmful so-called "military judges", "thundered the President Emeritus of the Republic Francesco Cossiga. And, again, Federico Bricolo (parent company of the league in defense committee in the House): "A disgraceful decision." The officers must comply with the violation of 'Article 98 of the Military Penal Code of War ("Omission of action for the military defense). Their different positions: the colonel of the Pauli attorney denies failing to adequately protect the 'entrance of the structure with positions of the barrier (the "Hesco Bastion", large containers filled with gravel) and other security measures and have allowed the so-called "riservetta" of ammunition was placed in the area of \u200b\u200b'access to the base. For general Lops and Stano, however, the 'allegations about the failure to make an adequate defense system in the presence of a series of "warning" that is, specific warnings about possible attacks. The basis of the decision Intelisano, two technical reports from experts who, while reaching different results (one seeks the 'overall adequacy of the protection, the' other highlights deficiencies) both recognize the exemplary behavior of military service, only the prompt reaction and blows against the truck bomb exploded on which two suicide bombers had begged even more serious consequences. And while it may begin by the end of the year 's trial of Abu Omar Al Kurdi, the Iraqi terrorist who confessed to being the' creator 's attack: the prosecutor Franco Ionta, Pietro Saviotti and Erminio Amelio will ask the' provisional extradition (is held in home and sentenced to death because he was considered the mind of a thirty attacks) in the hope of being able to celebrate his presence in the process.
I wonder if we will, by chance, to end only they who lose out, instead of demonizing (or, better accountability, high in the sense of the word) the principals of that tragic event?
