Luca Sanna

Italian Corporal Luca Sanna, age 33, of the eighth Alpine Brigade, died in Afghanistan on January 18, 2011.

Luca Sanna was hit in the head and died immediately from his injuries during an insurgent attack on an advance base in the Bala Murghab Valley. His assailant was wearing an Afghan soldier's uniform and managed to find an excuse to get up close to the base. The attacker pretended he needed help cleaning his gun as it had jammed, and so was able to open fire on the soldiers before escaping. 

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Luca Sanna is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
