LOSS BY ITALY
MOTOR LORRIES AND PETROL SUCCESSFUL BRITISH ATTACK RAPID. EXTENSION OF FIRE (Official Wireless) (Received Sept. 2, 3.15 p.m.) RUGBY, Sept. 1 The Nairobi correspondent of the Times says the latest reports of the attack on Mogadishu on August 30 show that the Italians collected at least 1000 motor lorries in one park, and these were almost completely destroyed.
Pilots believe that the black clouds of* smoke and the rapid extension of the fire indicated that the lorries were fully fuelled. Italy, therefore, has lost thousands of gallons of petrol.
