Gioia Tauro train bombing
It's hard to piece together information on this bombing in English, I will share my findings for future amateur historians who don't speak Italian.


 * Sources differ on the number injured and even the number killed (most say six, some say seven).
 * Some sources say that there was a bomb on the train, others say that the train derailed and there were suspicions after the fact that the tracks had been damaged by a bomb. The latter makes more sense to me.
 * Some sources attribute the attack to Ordine Nuovo, others to National Vanguard (Italy). I don't know how much difference there was between those groups, I'm guessing they shared membership.

To me it sounds like the story is: In 1970 this train derailed, killing several people. There were suspicions that the tracks had been damaged by a bomb, causing the derailment, but this wasn't known for sure. In 1993 the 'Ndrangheta member Giacomo Lauro, said that he had supplied the explosives used in the bombing to people linked to the leaders of the revolt. In one of his 1990s pronouncements Judge Guido Salvini attributed the attack to National Vanguard. In 2001 three people were convicted posthumously of planting the bomb. I assume they were linked to Ordine Nuovo or National Vanguard but I don't know.

If any Italian-speakers feel like correcting me they're most welcome to. Prezbo (talk) 17:36, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
