Bandit King's Reign Ends as Italian Police Kill Giuliano
Italian authorities reported the death of 28 year old Giuliano, known as the Robin Hood of Sicily, ending a two week manhunt. Carabinieri and police, part of a 2,000 strong force, surrounded his hilltop hideout near Castelvetrano fifty miles from Palermo and killed him after he opened fire. His gang, blamed for nearly 100 police deaths and numerous robberies and kidnappings, had been decimated over eight months with many members dead or on trial. Giuliano began his crimes in 1943 after an earlier clash with police during a wheat black market arrest.
