Fabrizio Quattrocchi was slated for beheading. But every time Al Qaeda operatives removed his hood he'd spit at them and begin shouting, go ahead, let the world see how an Italian dies.
The terrorists were perplexed. How could they make a statement to the world when their hostage was struggling and cursing them? Might set a bad precedent. Might resemble a Monty Python sketch more than anything else, but they figured if they kept beating him, he'd soon be pliable enough to submit to the type of slaughter they had in mind.
After some additional ministrations, they removed his hood for the final time, but no dice. He kicked, he spat, he tossed himself about, so they were forced to shoot him dead.
Italy versus France. Tomorrow. Betcha Fabrizio is watching.
