Attanasio father hails pope's words on son

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 2 - The father of Luca Attanasio, the ambassador to Congo who was killed on 22 February 2021 in an ambush together with escort Carabiniere Vittorio Iacovacci and WFP driver Mustapha Milambo, on Thursday welcomed Pope Francis's description of his son as a "sower of peace and hope".
    "From the point of view of the search for truth, I hope that Pope Francis' visit will spur the Congolese authorities to cooperate, something I have not seen so far," said Salvatore Iacovacci.
    Salvatore is still waiting to know exactly what happened to his son.
    "We hope that public opinion will keep his memory and attention alive so that the institutions do not let up," he added to ANSA.
