An Italian appeals court on Friday overturned the acquittal of a Somali national charged with murdering two Italian journalists, and sentenced him to life imprisonment, court officials said.
Hashi Omar Hassan, 26, was found guilty of killing state RAI television journalist Ilaria Alpi and her cameramen Milan Hrovatin in the Somalian capital Mogadishu in 1994.
