Italian FA president Giancarlo Abete claims Italy have nothing to fear when they travel to South Africa for World Cup 2010 following the Togo team bus shooting.
The three fatalities, which included two members of the Togo delegation, suffered in Friday's deadly attack in Angola sent shockwaves throughout the football community.
However, Abete is confident there will not be a similar incident in South Africa.
"Togo? This was very grave and traumatic, but it's something which is not related to football," Abete told the press.
"A tight security system has been drawn up in South Africa and I think Sepp Blatter said we should all remain calm for the World Cup.
"Of course, this doesn't mean that tourists heading to South Africa must not be careful in particular situations."
