Italian Police Investigate Luggage Chaos
Italian police have started an investigation into the circumstances that led to the chaos after thousands of pieces of baggage went astray at Fiumicino Airport in Rome during the heaviest travel weekend of the year. Government ministers have called for an immediate inquiry into the chaos after one MP dubbed the crisis a national disgrace. Italy's Civil Aviation Authority has accused baggage handlers of sabotaging obsolete equipment resulting in huge delays.
