A new monument paying tribute to
former premier Aldo Moro and his security detail, who were
murdered by Red Brigades (BR) terrorists in 1978, has been
vandalised by graffiti.
The letters BR were scrawled in red on the monument in Rome's
via Fani, where Moro was kidnapped and his five bodyguards were
killed.
Moro, a former leader of the once-dominant Christian Democrat
party, was slain by the left-wing terrorists 55 days later.
President Sergio Mattarella inaugurated the monument on
Friday, the 40th anniversary of the day Moro was captured and
his escort killed.
