ROME, Italy — One student was killed and at least seven others were wounded when a bomb exploded outside a high school in Rome Saturday.
The explosive went off a few minutes before 8 a.m. outside the mainly all-girls Francesca Laura Morvillo Falcone vocational institute, the Associated Press reports. Melissa Bassi, 16, who had just gotten off a bus at the time of the explosion, died of her wounds at a hospital.
The school was named after a judge who died along with her husband, anti-Mafia prosecutor Giovanni Falcone, in a 1992 highway bombing. However, the bombing does not appear to be the work of organized crime, according to anti-Mafia prosecutor Cataldo Motta.
