Italy hails hotel chef in India attacks as hero

An Italian chef joined soldiers battling militants at a Mumbai hotel to bring milk to his wife and infant daughter who were trapped during the siege.

All major Italian dailies splashed front-page photos Saturday of Emanuele Lattanzi carrying 6-month-old Clarice from the hotel on Friday.

Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini praised him for his 'courageous act' and televisions repeatedly interviewed the shy and exhausted-looking cook.

Lattanzi told RAI state TV that he was working in the kitchen on Wednesday night when gunmen entered the Oberoi, one of 10 sites attacked across Mumbai. The restaurant staff and customers managed to escape through an emergency exit, but the chef soon realized his wife and daughter had been left behind because they were asleep in their room.
