Police officers carry the coffin of their slain comrade Filippo Raciti
into the cathedral for his funeral in Catania February 5, 2007. A
soccer-mad nation which only seven months ago celebrated a World Cup

Sicilian teams Catania and Palermo on Friday, in which the policeman died
and over 70 people were injured.[Reuters]![](http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/image_e/insertphotomore.gif) | |
