20,000 in farewell to Italian 'martyr'
--------------------------------------
THE Italian intelligence officer killed by United States forces after helping to free a hostage in Iraq was given a full state funeral yesterday with tens of thousands turning out on the streets of Rome to pay tribute.

Nicola Calipari has been hailed a hero and a martyr after he died while shielding the journalist Giuliana Sgrena from US gunfire outside Baghdad airport following her release.

Among the mourners at his funeral were the Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, who sent Mr Calipari on the fatal mission to Baghdad and is trying to reconcile his pro-US policies with growing demands for an explanation from Washington over the shooting.

As many as 20,000 people lined the streets of Rome as Mr Calipari’s body was driven to the basilica of St Mary of the Angels and Martyrs for the funeral, which was televised.
