Neapolitan mob war claims four more lives

Paramilitary police reinforced checkpoints in Naples today after the mob war that has plagued the southern Italian city claimed four more victims.

Three bodies were found handcuffed in a suburb last night, said Carabinieri official Angelo Mazzagatti. He said the three were thought to have ties to the Di Lauro clan, a part of Naples’ Camorra crime syndicate that has been involved in a bloody battle with a breakaway group in recent months, resulting in several brutal killings.
