CANADIAN SOLDIER DAMAGES ROMAN COLUMN IN SCALING ATTEMPT

    ROME (CWNews.com) - A Canadian soldier was arrested in Rome on Sunday after he damaged the Column of the Immaculate Conception while trying to climb it.

    Robert Francis Keenan, 30, allegedly broke a bas-relief angel on the 19th century column near the Spanish Steps. The Pope places a wreath of roses at the column every December 8 on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

    Keenan is serving with NATO forces in Kosovo, but arrived in Rome on Sunday on a 15-day pass.
