On September 20th, 1994 an Italian journalist and her camera operator were ambushed and assassinated during daylight in the streets of Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. Just hours before she was shot with a bullet in the head, the young journalist made a phone call to her boss in Rome asking permission to stay an extra day on her assignment because she was about to uncover something sensational, a terrible truth on huge amounts of money for the trade of arms, shabby highway constructions, and toxic waste.All names have been changed. The Ducati Girl and her faccendiere are fictitious characters.
