(ANSA) - Rome, July 29 - Italy on Thursday mourned two soldiers killed by a bomb seconds after they had defused another one on a road in Afghanistan Wednesday.
Italian President Giorgio Napolitano immediately sent his condolences Wednesday to the families of Mauro Gigli, 42, from Sassari in Sardinia, and Pier Davide De Cillis, 33, from Bisceglie near Bari in Puglia.
Parliamentarians will salute the soldiers, both bomb defusal experts, when the government reports on the incident later Thursday.
