Police Find Explosives in Red Brigades Hide-Out
ITALY
Italian police discovered 220 pounds of explosives at a Red Brigades guerrilla group hide-out in a raid the interior minister described as a key advance in a probe into the slaying of two Labor Ministry advisors, one in 1999 and one in 2002.
Police said the apartment in Rome had been used as a base by the modern incarnation of the ultra-left Red Brigades group that terrorized Italy in the 1970s.
“The discovery of the latest Red Brigades hide-out gives a decisive push to the investigations into the murders,” Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu said.
