SIENA - A tourist bus travelling from Florence to Siena has overturned, killing one passenger and injuring others, police sources have said.

 The victim has not yet been identified, although reports indicate that the circa sixty tourists aboard the vehicle were Georgian, Armenian and Kazakh nationals visiting Italy on an art history holiday. 

 It is not thought that the injuries sustained by passengers who survived the crash are serious, and emergency help was quick on the scene to help passengers free themselves from the wreckage.

TIVOLI - A teenage girl who killed her father while attempting to defend her mother and maternal grandmother from his aggressive behaviour has been released, police sources have said.

 Deborah Sciacquatori, 19, was arrested earlier this month after she was found to have stabbed her father to death in a domestic struggle. However, she has been released after Italian courts found her to have acted in self-defence, and presiding judges are expected to ask for all charges to be dropped, although this is yet to be confirmed.

He also warned of the threat to Europe, as Daesh fighters abandon Syria and Libya becomes “an attractive refuge” for them.

 Noting that Libya has already seen four attacks in less than two months, he explained: “Daesh [ISIS] is taking advantage of the war to occupy the vacuum created in the south [of Libya], but they probably have dormant cells in Tripoli and elsewhere.”
