Judges must crack down after Turin clashes says Nordio

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 16 - Judges must crack down on students and anarchists who attacked police during an anti-government and pro-Palestinian march in Turin on Friday using a home-made bomb whose fumes choked 15 police and raising three fingers in the symbol of the Walter P38 pistol that marked Italy's Year of Lead terrorism and the huge student protests of 1977, Justice Minister Carlo Nordio said Saturday.
    "I saw how terrorism was born, even in Turin: they started like this, first they incite a riot, then they attack the police, then they make the P38 gesture in the street and then they shoot," said the minister.
    "So the intervention must be rapid, effective.
    "On the government's part it is and will be, but now it's up to the judiciary to demonstrate that it is very, very severe towards these bandits who have injured the police.
    "There are no extenuating circumstances for those who attack the police". (ANSA).
