Italian hostage 'defied killers'
Quattrocchi, an ex-baker, was
trained to guard oil pipelines
The Italian hostage killed by kidnappers in Iraq was a defiant "hero" in his final moments, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini says.
The dead man was identified as Fabrizio Quattrocchi, 36, a security guard.

May he find eternal shelter within the mercy and grace of God, and may his family be comforted in the knowledge that he is no longer a captive of the muslim 'religion of peace'.
