AN explosive device went off outside a high school in southern Italy named after a slain anti-Mafia prosecutor as students arrived for class yesterday, killing one of them and wounding several others, officials said.
The device went off just before 8am in the Adriatic port town of Brindisi just as students milled outside, chatting and getting ready for class at the vocational institute named after the slain anti-Mafia prosecutor Giovanni Falcone and his wife.
Falcone and his wife were killed by a Mafia blast in Sicily exactly 20 years ago this weekend, but it was unclear if there was an organized crime link to yesterday's explosion. There were no immediate claims of responsibility.
Local civil protection agency official Fabiano Amati said a female student died of her wounds after being taken to a hospital.
Sky TG24TV said the victim was a 16-year-old girl.
Officials said at least seven other students were hospitalized, but some news reports put the figure at 10.
