Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has said his country would not be deterred by the deadly bomb attack on the Italian headquarters in Iraq, which claimed the lives of 18 Italians and about a dozen of other people.

Wednesday's drama was the single biggest loss of life for a non-US coalition member since the start of the war in Iraq in March.
