Investigators examine soccer attack on policeman

Investigators in Catania are examining a film of the attack against a police officer killed in rioting at a Serie A match last week in hopes of identifying those responsible for his murder, Italian newspapers reported today.

The film from the stadium’s closed circuit cameras shows the fighting outside that began after the Catania-Palermo match had started on Friday night, and shows youths with partially covered faces approaching 38-year-old Filippo Raciti and one of them hitting him in the abdomen, newspapers including Corriere della Sera reported.
