Rome - The murder of Italian journalist Enzo Baldoni in Iraq, reported on Thursday by Arabic-language satellite news channel Al-Jazeera, was "an act of barbarity," Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said.
"There are no words for an inhuman act which all at once wipes out centuries of civilisation and returns us to the dark times of barbarism," Berlusconi said in a message of condolences to the family of the 56-year-old journalist, who was married with two children.
The prime minister expressed his compassion and solidarity, while stressing his "firm determination to fight terrorism." - AFP
