18 May 2008 09:32 FOCUS News Agency
Rome. Italian authorities claim that the mafia group Kamora in Naples have organized the attack with Molotov cocktails against a Roma camp in the Ponticelli suburb and chased away its inhabitants, the Spanish daily El Pais reports.
At the beginning of the week a group of men, women and children attacked the camp, which houses about 100 gypsies from Romania, forcing them to leave the town under police escort. The reason for the attack is an attempt by a young gypsy girl to steal a baby from the home of an Italian woman. Other experts, however, believe that the Kamora group has interests in chasing the gypsies away since they intend to start construction on the same site where the camp was.
