"We were all deeply shocked at the tragic news of the bomb attack on the Italian base in Nasiriya on 12 November 2003 and the death toll that now stands at 27 people: 19 Italians, 8 Iraqis and many wounded.
Those young men and women, dedicated
were enthusiastic and committed to their mission, which was to assure peace and relieve the suffering of the population in that war-torn region. 19 have now returned to their homeland in coffins shrouded with the Italian tricolour.
I have already expressed, on your behalf, our sympathy to the families of those victims, to the President of the Italian Republic, Mr Ciampi, to the Prime Minister, Mr Berlusconi, to the Defence Minister, Mr Martino, to the police and armed forces, and of course to the people of Italy. Our hearts also go out to those wounded in this attack, for their personal suffering and the tragic loss of their friends and colleagues.
On behalf of the European Parliament, I express our profound indignation and utter condemnation of this attack. Let us pay homage on this day of national mourning in Italy, to the bravery, courage and dedication of the Italian
and soldiers who laid down their lives in Iraq for peace and freedom. I ask you to observe one minute's silence in their memory."@en1
