Two Italian anarchists die in accidental homemade bomb explosion
The anarchists died while assembling a homemade bomb to protest harsh detention of Alfredo Cospito, a jailed activist serving a 20-year sentence, police said.
- On Friday, two Italian anarchists were killed in an explosion at an abandoned cabin on the outskirts of Rome while reportedly preparing a protest linked to jailed anarchist Alfredo Cospito.
- A court is set to rule in May on whether to relax Alfredo Cospito's detention, with media reporting Ardizzone and Mercogliano reportedly preparing 'an act of protest' under the 41-bis regime.
- Investigators say the device was made with fertilizer and a trigger, nails were found in the wreckage, and five searches by the Digos of Rome probed possible targets in Rome's south‑east quadrant.
- Forensic teams arrived on site while anti-terror investigators probe logistics and supply chains; agents seized material now under examination and two interviewed people are not linked to the action.
- The Anti‑terrorism Strategic Analysis Committee met at the Viminale as investigators assess the device's range and whether a site near Acquedotti park was the intended target, while possible alternative leads remain open.
