The October 21–22, 1972 bombings in Italy were nine terrorist attacks that took place during the night. The target of the attacks were a number of trains headed to Reggio Calabria, bringing workers to the city for the protest march scheduled for the next day. The attack was part of a larger set of bombings perpetrated by neo-fascist terrorists linked to the Movimento Sociale Italiano party and Ciccio Franco, leader of the revolt in Reggio Calabria sparked by the choice of Catanzaro as regional capital. == Political situation == In July 1970, after the decision from the Italian Government to make Catanzaro regional capital of Calabria, in Reggio Calabria a major strike begun, led by both leftists and right-wing workers unions. After five days of rioting, the right-wing union CISNAL, led by Ciccio Franco, took the head of the revolt, turning it to a full scale war against police forces and the formerly allied leftist unions. Partito Comunista Italiano, the main leftist party of the country, dissociated itself from the protest after it turned violent. On July 22, 1970, a train was bombed in Gioia Tauro, as a show of force by the neo-fascist rioters. The full scale war between Franco's City Committee and the government lasted seven months, with some casualties within Police and civilians. On February 4, 1971 a bomb was thrown at an antifascist rally in Catanzaro, to disrupt the peaceful march. In February 1971, the revolt was suppressed by means of negotiations (the city was promised a new steel mill and 10 thousand jobs), and ultimately peace was restored, with the leaders charged of inciting violence. Franco had become senator. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1972 bombings in Italy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
