Italy: Marines say they’re innocent, deny terrorism

Rome and New Delhi, 6 Feb. (AKI) – Two Italian marines facing trial in India for the murder of two fishermen said on Thursday they were innocent of any crime, including terrorism, and regretted the “loss of two human lives”.

Interviewed by Italian state broadcaster Rai in New Delhi, where they are awaiting trial, riflemen Salvatore Girone and Massimiliano Latorre said they were sorry for the deaths of the two fishermen off southern India in 2012.
