VALLEY Gulistan (Afghanistan) - It 's still controversy about the death of the Alpine Matteo Miotto. The news of the exchange of gun shots during which the soldier is dead - now he was told that the young soldier had been the victim of a sniper - was notified only in a second stage at the same defense minister, Ignazio La Russa, who said he "angry" with the military.Today, a visit to Gulistan, where the corporal's Julia was killed on Dec. 31, La Russa gave his explanation of why this happened, after the lack of clarity about the different versions of the incident had raised a number of criticisms "It is a reflection of an old method used in previous governments, to say the truth but not alarmed, trying to gild the pill." "My theory, though - says La Russa, speaking with journalists in Afghanistan - is that of transparency.
Also because there is nothing to hide: we are not attacked because we are bad, but because we are doing important work, which involves risk. Now the reconstruction of the story seems complete and comprehensive. " The reconstruction of the attack: "There were more people, exchange of fire lasting several minutes." The minister described the dynamics of the action, confirming the sniper attack but as part of a broader context: "I just received a photograph of the final phase - La Russa said - namely that he killed a sniper who was on Miotto sentry box.
It 's all true, but it was given to me either that part of the news that this event was part of an exchange of fire lasted several minutes. " Maybe he actually fired a single sniper, but certainly there was the presence of other people with small arms, which were later intercepted the plane the U.S.
intervened, reconstructs the minister. "They were 5, 6, 8 is not clear, certainly more than four. The prevailing hypothesis is that he shot one person with the sniper rifle, by a mile, a mile and a half, but it may have been accompanied by those with small arms. Certainly there was an exchange of fire lasted several minutes, at which the Italians and the same Miotto took part by responding promptly.
" It was not considered of having to communicate this piece of news in the early hours, said La Russa. "I'm angry with the military that have told me and when, four days ago, I was given the part that there was a shootout, before making known all I wanted to wait until yesterday, 5, to speak personally with General Bellacicco, the commander of the contingent.
" No controversy, the minister added, noting that the attack occurred at a base away and the last year and the first news that had been fragmented. "I have been given certain information and not those who were not confirmed one hundred percent. I'll take it for good, so much so that there will be no consequences.
I do not want to accuse anyone, but I want to reiterate that my 'theory' , let's call it, is of the utmost transparency, "he concludes. Miotto's father: 'The minister has made clear. " La Russa went to the thanks of the father of Matthew Miotto, which has appreciated as the minister has undertaken to tell how are things really went.
Franco Miotto says he never wanted to question any kind of reconstruction of the incident. but "by a father who lost son half a world away in tragic circumstances - notes - it seemed right and proper to understand what had really happened. I think any parent would have done," he says. Accame "debunked story of the sniper." The version of the lone sniper had not convinced Accame Falco, president of the National Victims Assistance join the military and families of the fallen.
"It took the presence of Defense Minister in Afghanistan to debunk the story of the sniper and the soldier hit in the turret, a victim of fate 'and cynical cheat,'" he says. "Why do Italians have been told this canard?", He asks, pointing out that it is not the first time. "Examples are the story of Marshal Vince Li Cause, trainer of Gladio abroad, in Somalia, he said, was hit by a stray bullet, just days before laying process for the Center Scorpion Gladio in Trapani.
Then version was changed, "said the admiral. "He said he was shot in a gun battle and was awarded the Gold Medal at the memory. Because the Italians had to know that there was a firefight with Afghan rebels partisans?". For the Admiral is now certain that our soldiers "are involved in an operation of 'peace war', and most are not operating under the cover of a code of war, which at least provides adequate compensation in case of death, and warranty of humane treatment in case of imprisonment, issues left uncovered by the code of peace.
" Di Pietro: "Now the mission of death and destruction." Even Antonio Di Pietro attacks: one in Afghanistan is now a mission-only death and destruction, says the leader of IDV, no more than peacekeeping. "The truth - says the former PM - that our country has seen the deaths of his military and magnified the costs of a mission that can be defined in any way, but not of peace."
