A migrant from Guinea who tried to
stab a policeman near Milan's central rail station Monday was
released from arrest Wednesday. Saidou Mamoud Diallo, 31, will
now be dealt with by the Milan police immigration office, which
may decide to deport him. Diallo's intended victim, who was
protected by his bullet-proof vest, sustained a slight wound.
Diallo, who had a record for violence, had previously been
reported for trying to get on a tourist coach armed with a
knife. He had been served an order of expulsion from Italy,
issued in Sondrio on July 4.
