Bodies of Six Italian Soldiers Return Home in Coffins

Their coffins were draped in Italian flags.

Grieving relatives of the six soldiers killed in a recent bomb attack in Afghanistan stood nearby as the coffins were unloaded from a military plane.

Italian President Giorgio Napolitano was in attendance.

A state funeral for the soldiers is expected to take place on Monday, September 21st.

Sixteen people were killed in the attack when a suicide car bomber drove into a military convoy on a main road in the Afghan capital of Kabul.

It is the worst attack to be experienced by Italian forces in Afghanistan.

European leaders have been scrambling to reassure people skeptical of their countries' roles in an 8-year-old war that has reached its most violent phase.

The attack has sent shock waves rippling through Italy.

Too bad it will all for nothing. Todays soldiers aren't allowed to do what is necessary to "win" a war....the liberals have no taste for what war really is. KILL AND DESTROY on a much higher level than what modern civilized military forces are allowed to perform by they're civilian leaders. Too bad such honorable men will die because of stinking politicians want to keep they're jobs by kissing public asses.
