| Description | Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi has called a special cabinet meeting after losing a crucial vote in the Senate on the country's foreign policy.
His foreign minister had earlier said the government could resign if it lost.
Several parties in Mr Prodi's coalition oppose Italy's deployment of 2,000 troops in Afghanistan and plans to expand a US airbase in northern Italy.
Mr Prodi, whose government has only a one-seat Senate majority, is to make a statement to the cabinet shortly.
Italian President Giorgio Napolitano has cut short a trip to Bologna to return to Rome for talks with Mr Prodi. |
