Turkey's Envoy To Vatican Fatally Wounded In Rome
An unidentified gunman shot Turkey's ambassador to the Vatican, Taha Carim, 62, in Rome as he entered his residence. He died six hours later. A Beirut group calling itself Justice Commandos for Armenian Genocide claimed responsibility, citing revenge for Armenian massacres. Carim had earlier left his office, and the attacker fled on foot after firing two shots. Authorities note previous Turkish ambassadors to Vienna and Paris were killed in similar attacks in 1975.
