De Angelis apologizes for 'unease' caused by Bologna bombing comments

(see related) (ANSA) - ROME, AUG 7 - Region of Lazio Communications Chief Marcello De Angelis on Monday apologised after sparking a big political row by saying that three of the far-right terrorists convicted of the 1980 Bologna train station bombing are innocent.
    But in a long post on Facebook, De Angelis did not say he would be resigning from his position, something opposition parties have been calling for.
    "In the last few days I have expressed personal reflections on my social-media profile which have become the subject of a row that has involved everyone," De Angelis said.
    "I intend to apologize to those people, and there are many, starting from the people closest to me, whom I have caused unease, dragging them into a situation that has taken on a dimension that is unimaginable for me". (ANSA).
