Two warrants were issued in Italy in connection with the killing of a close aide to Italian Prime Minister Ciriaco De Mita. The suspects were identified by judicial officials in Forli, central Italy, as Maria Cappello, 34, wife of wanted guerrilla suspect Fabio Ravalli, 36, and Giovanni Alimonti, an alleged leftist urban guerrilla. They are wanted on charges of complicity in the shooting of Sen. Roberto Ruffilli, a Christian Democrat, at his home in Forli on April 16. Responsibility for Ruffilli’s killing, by gunmen posing as postmen, was claimed by the Fighting Communist Party, an offshoot of the largely defunct Red Brigades.
