Margherita Coletta, whose husband Giuseppe – a brigade general of the Italian police – was murdered in an Iraqi suicide attack in 2003, continues to pray that his killers will receive God's mercy.
“True justice will come from God,” Margherita told Italian daily Avvenire on May 8.
In an interview with the paper, she recalled the tragic date of Nov. 12, 2003, when a suicide attack on the Italian base in Nassiriyah left 19 soldiers and nine civilians dead. Seven accomplices were arrested shortly afterward.
Margherita, a mother of a nine-year girl, emphasized that said she does not want vengeance, because “when someone commits these kinds of actions, we are all victims.”
