Thanks for providing the Italians name. I had remembered the event but not the name. For those who missed it:

"Al-Jazeera said it received the video of the execution Wednesday from a group claiming to be "The Mujahedeen Brigade." Al-Jazeera said it did not air the video because it was too graphic."

"Frattini later described how Quattrocchi was executed. "When the murderers were pointing a pistol at him, this man tried to take off his hood and shouted: 'Now I'm going to show you how an Italian dies'. And they killed him."

FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE, I will remember the name of that great Italian hero, who is almost Homeric: Fabrizio Quatrocchi.
