...case against the anarchists is based on fairly thin circumstantial evidence. The day after Valpreda's arrest, a Milan taxi driver told police that he recognized the suspect-from an old photograph-as the man with a briefcase whom he had driven 135 yards from a cabstand to the bank shortly before the explosion. He later testified that police told him the photograph "was the one I had to recognize." The cabby, who happened to be an alcoholic, died of cirrhosis of the liver before Valpreda came to trial, leaving unanswered the question of why a terrorist would risk...
