Rome prosecutors have put a United
Nations World Food Programme (WFP) official under investigation
in relation to the death of Italy's Ambassador to the Democratic
Republic of Congo (DRC) Luca Attanasio and his Carabiniere
security escort Vittorio Iacovacci during an attempted
kidnapping in February.
Their driver Mustapha Milambo was also killed in the ambush on
convoy to visit a WFP school-feeding programme, which the DRC
has blamed on Rwandan Hutu militia.
The WFP official is a Congolese who is being probed over the
alleged failure to follow the UN's security protocol and give
the convoy an armed escort to protect it.
