I can see why Al-Jazeera doesn't want to air this tape. RIP Fabrizio Quattrocchi.
Italian hostage defied killersThe 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.
As the gunman's pistol was pointing at him the hostage "tried to take off his hood and shouted: 'now I'll show you how an Italian dies,'" he said.
What a brave man.
