Anarchist’s attack on nuclear executive in Italy

The letter takes aim at Adinolfi, calling him a “sorcerer of the atomic industry” and criticising him for claiming in an interview that none of the deaths during the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in 2011 were due to nuclear incidents.

“Adinolfi knows well that it is only a matter of time before a European Fukushima kills on our continent,” the letter stated.

Italian anarchists kneecap nuclear executive and threaten more shootings Group named after Greek anarchist warns it will strike seven more times at nuclear firm’s parent company, Finmeccanica, Tom Kington in Rome guardian.co.uk,   11 May 2012  An anarchist group claimed responsibility on Friday for kneecapping an Italian nuclear engineering executive and warned it would strike another seven times at the firm’s parent company, Finmeccanica.

In a four-page letter  sent to an Italian newspaper, the group,
calling itself the Olga Nucleus of the Informal Anarchist
Federation-International Revolutionary Front, said two of its members
had shot Roberto Adinolfi, the CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare, in Genoa on
Monday.

The firm is owned by Italian state-controlled defence and aerospace
group Finmeccanica, which operates 16 sites and employs 10,000 people
in the UK.

The letter, which was deemed credible by investigators, said the cell
named itself after Olga Ikonomidou, one of eight Greek anarchists it
listed as currently jailed in Greece. Seven further attacks would be
carried out, one for each of them, the letter stated.
After the shooting Finmeccanica’s CFO, Alessandro Pansa, said the firm
would not be intimidated. On Friday a spokesman declined to comment on
the letter.

The letter takes aim at Adinolfi, calling him a “sorcerer of the atomic industry” and criticising him for claiming in an interview that none of the deaths during the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in 2011 were due to nuclear incidents.

“Adinolfi knows well that it is only a matter of time before a European Fukushima kills on our continent,” the letter stated.

“Science in centuries past promised us a golden age, but it is pushing us towards self destruction and slavery,” the group wrote, adding:
“With our action we give back to you a small part of the suffering
that you scientists are bringing to the world.”….
