"From Afghanistan returned too many dead, the country is not happy," he said. Bossi, however, confirmed the maintenance of the Italian commitment in the region: "If America had not gone into Afghanistan, we will have terrorism rampant throughout Europe," he said, speaking with reporters in Ponte di Legno.
In his view, in Kabul, "America has acted wisely." "Unfortunately - he added - in war, people die." The IDV is urging the withdrawal of Italian troops in Afghanistan. The leader of the Senate Felice Belisario said that the death of Corporal Miotto "marks the tragic end of the year, and requires the immediate withdrawal from those territories to put up with an oozing painful and unjustified".
