Former Red Brigades (BR) terrorist
Barbara Balzerani has died in Rome at the age of 75, sources
said on Monday.
Born in the town of Colleferro, near Rome, in 1949, Balzerani
joined the BR in 1975.
She never repented, nor did she disassociate herself from the
group, but she did express sorrow "for those hit" by the
terrorists.
She was granted parole in 2006.
She was involved in several killings, including the 1978 raid in
which five member of ex-premier Aldo Moro's security escort were
murdered.
Moro was kidnapped in the raid, and killed 54 days later.
Balzerani was also involved in the abduction of United States
General James L. Dozier in 1981.
The previous year she was part of the BR hit squad that
assassinated magistrate Girolamo Minervini.
She was arrested in 1985.
