Italy marks 30th anniversary of Borsellino bombing

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 19 - Italy on Tuesday is marking the 30th anniversary of the Via d'Amelio Cosa Nostra bombing in Palermo in which anti-mafia magistrate Paolo Borsellino and five members of his security detail were murdered.
    Emanuela Loi, Agostino Catalano, Vincenzo Li Muli, Walter Eddie Cosina, and Claudio Traina were the names of the bodyguards.
    The attack took place just two months after the Mafia assassination of Borsellino's friend and colleague Giovanni Falcone, as well as his wife Francesca Morvillo and police officers Rocco Dicillo, Antonio Montinaro and Vito Schifani by a huge bomb detonated under their cars on the Palermo-airport highway.
    On Tuesday President Sergio Mattarella paid tribute to Borsellino and his bodyguards and called for a "spirit of truth" in relation to the ongoing trials to find all those responsible for the attack and get to the bottom of efforts to thrown the investigation into it off track.
    There is bitterness among relatives of victims at a recent sentence by a court in Caltanissetta that ruled the case against two police offices accused of involvement in throwing the probe off track had timed out.
    National antimafia prosecutor Giovanni Melillo apologized for the investigations being thrown off track in an interview in Corriere della Sera. (ANSA).
