Simona Pari e Simona Torretta finalmente libere!!!

Footnote, July 30, 2005:

Hussein says the library was to receive a boost last year from A Bridge to Baghdad, an Italian humanitarian group operating in Baghdad. But when two of the group’s workers, Simona Pari and Simona Torretta, were kidnapped from their Baghdad offices in September, the group moved out of Iraq and the deal dissolved, she says. The women were later released.
