Italian Journalist Among the Dead in Strasbourg Christmas Market Attack

Chagos said:
Incidentally Antonio Megalizzi was in Strasbourg to cover the European Parliament plenary session for radio network Europhonica.

Having studied at Trento he was finishing his Masters Degree. He hails from Calabria (Southernmost Italy).

His girl friend was with him in Strasbourg but not near at the shooting. Two friends and a journalist colleague escaped the attack that killed him by scrambling under the tables of a bar. But a Polish national who appears to have also been with him died a short while ago, bringing the death toll up to five.

The Frenchman was a Strasbourg resident, just recently retired from working in a bank.

The Afghan national lived in Strasbourg where he worked as a mechanic and had been walking towards the centre with his family, when shot.

The Thai tourist is reported as just recently having arrived in France.

At least 2 (perhaps 3) are seriously injured, with doctors fighting for their lives.

Deepest sympathy for the deceased and their families and friends and best wishes for a speedy recovery for the seriously and less seriously injured.

A helpfully informative post from you. I nearly fell out of my chair :lamo But seriously, well done.

Either the reporter for Haaretz lied, or Martin Schulz said Germany only exists as a resource for Israel & Jewry's benefit.

Was he commenting on the Strasbourg shooting of the Italian journalist at the time, or are you derailing the thread again?

Most threads eventually veer off into subjects outside the realm of the OP, don't they?

Your threads most often have nothing to do with any subject you use as a pretext, to then veer off into where you really want to go.

This one being a prime example where you don't even put up any pretence.
