Four Italian soldiers were killed and one seriously wounded in an insurgent attack in western Afghanistan in October 2010.
"This assault against Italian soldiers is an example of the high human cost we have to pay for a mission that is fundamental for our national security," Italy's Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said in a statement. The soldiers from the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) were returning from a mission when their vehicle was ambushed by insurgents in Farah province, a spokesman for the defense ministry told Italian television.
The men killed are first corporal Gianni Manca (born in Alghero September 24, 1978); first corporal Vannozzi Francis (born in Pisa on 27 March 1984), the first corporal Ville Sebastian (born in Lentini, province Syracuse, September 17, 1983) and Corporal Mark Walker (born in Gagliano del Capo, in the province of Lecce, April 14, 1987).
Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that these Italian soldiers, young men all, are in heaven. Let us pray that they are at peace and are with God. Amen
