Italy anarchists claim attack as public anger rises

GENOA/ROME (Reuters) - An Italian anarchist group claimed responsibility for shooting and wounding the head of a nuclear engineering company and said it would strike again, spreading fears of a return to 1970s political violence in crisis-hit Italy.

In a letter sent to daily Corriere della Sera on Friday, a group calling itself the Olga Nucleus of the Informal Anarchist Federation-International Revolutionary Front said it had attacked the head of Ansaldo Nucleare to punish "one of the many sorcerers of the atomic industry".
