Italy police arrest man over school bomb
- 12 years ago
The aftermath of last month's bombing in front of a school in southern Italy.
Sixteen year old Melissa Bassi was killed and 10 others wounded in the attack on this vocational training institute in Brindisi.
The attack horrified the country and sparked speculation that it was the work of organised crime gangs.
However, Italian media reported on Thursday that a 68-year-old man has been taken into custody for the bombing amid news of a possible confession.
The man, whose motive has been described as a personal vendetta, is reportedly married with two children.
Hundreds, including Italian prime minister Mario Monti, attended the funeral of Melissa Bassi two days after the attack.
