Pizzolungo bombing
The Pizzolungo Bombing was a car-bomb attack on 2 April 1985 undertaken by the mafia in order to kill Carlo Palermo, a magistrate in Pizzolungo, Sicily. Palermo had been investigating an international drug and arms trafficking network in which Italian politicians may have been involved.〔Stille, ''Excellent Cadavers'', p. 204〕 Palermo was injured in the attack and three passersby were killed: Barbara Rizzo Asta and her young twin sons, Salvatore and Giuseppe.
== Attack ==
On the morning of 2 April 1985 a car bomb loaded with TNT exploded on the side of the highway through Pizzolungo. It was set to detonate as deputy prosecutor Carlo Palermo traveled from his house in Bonagia to the Palace of Justice in Trapani in an armored Fiat 132 followed by an unarmored Fiat Ritmo. Just before the bomb exploded, Palermo's car was overtaken by a Volkswagen Sirocco, driven by Barbara Rizzo Asta, 30, who was taking her six-year-old twins Giuseppe and Salvatore, to school. Her vehicle was caught between the car bomb and the Fiat 132. The explosion was heard miles away.
Palermo was wounded, but the Sirocco bore the brunt of the blast, killing its occupants. Asta was thrown out of the car while the bodies of the children were scattered much further away. One body landed on the wall of a building 200 yards (180 meters) away, mangled beyond recognition. Among the first responders were the woman's husband, Nunzio Asta, and his brother. But her vehicle was destroyed to such an extent that Nunzio and his brother did not suspect that the family was involved in the explosion. After the arrival of the police and emergency services, Nunzio went home, and then left by car to go to his workshop. Shortly after, the police called to ask for the license plate number of the car and Nunzio found out that one of his employees had already discovered his children had never reached school.
Of the four bodyguards in the rear Fiat car, two were slightly injured while the other two were severely hit by shrapnel: Anthony Ruggiero was hit in the eye, while Salvatore La Porta was hit in the head and other parts of his body.
