Italy: Senior Executive of Nuclear Engineering Group Ansaldo Nucleare Shot in Genoa
May 13th, 2012Via: BBC:
An Italian anarchist group has said it carried out an attack last Monday on a senior executive of nuclear engineering group Ansaldo Nucleare.
Roberto Adinolfi, 53, was shot in the leg by a gunman on a motorbike in the northern Italian city of Genoa.
He has undergone surgery and colleagues have said his condition is not serious.
The “Olga Cell” of the FAI (Informal Anarchist Federation), made the claim by a letter sent to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera.
The letter says that the attack “was carried out to punish one of the many sorcerers of the atomic industry”.
Strong presence
The Ansaldo group is part of aerospace and defence giant Finmeccanica.
Four of its managers were targets of attacks in the 1970s and ’80s by the far-left Red Brigades movement.
