Rome, Feb 14 (AP) Officials say a man has set himself on fire at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci airport, causing a scare among bystanders until police doused the flames and rushed him to the hospital. Italian news reports say the man is an Ivory Coast citizen who was at the airport facing deportation, but airport officials were not able immediately to confirm this. The airport press office said today the man had not yet passed through security when he set himself afire in the main international departure terminal. (AP) PY 02141731 NNNN
