Teenage girl killed in school blast

A bomb exploded outside a high school in southern Italy named after a slain anti-Mafia prosecutor as students arrived for class today, killing a teenage girl and wounding several other classmates, officials said.

The device went off a few minutes before 8am in the Adriatic port town of Brindisi just as students milled outside, chatting and getting ready for class at the Morvillo-Falcone vocational institute.
