Cavallini's life term for Bologna bombing upheld

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 27 - A Bologna appeals court on Wednesday upheld a life sentence for former NAR rightist terror group member Gilberto Cavallini for his part in the August 2, 1980 Bologna train station bombing that killed 85 people and injured 200.
    Cavallini was again found guilty of helping convicted bombers Giuseppe Valerio (Giusva) Fioravanti, his girlfriend Francesca Mambro and Luigi Ciavardini, all NAR members.
    The Bologna massacre was a terrorist bombing of the Central Station at Bologna on the morning of 2 August 1980, carried out by the neo-fascist terrorist organization Nuclei Armati Rivoluzionari (NAR, Armed Revolutionary Groups), which has always denied any involvement.
    Other theories have been proposed, especially in correlation with the rightist 'strategy of tension' designed to keep the Italian Communist Party (PCI) out of power.
    The bombing is the fourth deadliest terrestrial terrorist attack in Western Europe behind the Nice attack in July 2016, the Paris attacks in November 2015, and the Madrid train bombings in March 2004. (ANSA).
