In winter and on 18 January 1979, a car stopped right in front of Nicola’s house that was next to the post office. A man stepped outside of the car and knocked on his front door. His wife Asmaa answered and she saw the man. He asked about her husband telling her that he wanted to send a letter to one of his relative. Another man was waiting for him in the car under the rain. Asmaa called for her husband and when he came, he was dressed in his Pajamas. He saw the two men under the rain and insisted that they would come inside and have some coffee. He refused. When Nicola stepped outside to take them to the post office, the man attacked him and forced him into the car and they took off.
