Security head 'don't stop fight'

(ANSA) - Rome, April 23 - "Regret and pain must be expressed, but the fight against terrorism should not stop," and giving news too soon "can be reckless" Director of Italy's Security Information Department (DIS) Giampiero Massolo said on Thursday.
    Massolo was speaking following the announcement of the deaths of Italian aid worker Giovanni Lo Porto and US development manager Warren Weinstein killed by US forces in an anti-Al Quaeda drone raid in January.
    Massolo called the raid an "anti-terrorist action" and explained that the victims "found themselves in the midst of the action taking place".
    The security director also commented on learning of the death three months after the raid, saying "The idea of giving news when you do not have the absolute certainty can be reckless and, in an area like that one, confirmation checks are complex".
