BLACKWELL: Two 19-year-old Americans have been arrested in Rome for allegedly murdering an Italian police officer.</s>DEAN: Italian police have a stabbed an officer eight times over a stolen backpack. Joining me now, CNN contributor Barbie Nadeau. And Barbie, what started this alleged attack?</s>BARBIE LATZA NADEAU, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: Well, it's a really complicated story. But what we're hearing from the police who are the only voice in this narrative right now, it must be said, that these two young men tried to buy cocaine. When they found out the cocaine they bought was actually powdered aspirin or crushed aspirin, they got angry and tried to get back to the pusher, stole the backpack. Somehow the police got involved, the scuffle broke out and the boys are accused of killing this police officer. 35-year-old man who had just returned from his honeymoon just back on the forest, stabbed him dead. They escaped then to their hotel room and police found them there with they say the knife, bloody clothes and plans to go back to the United States. But what's important, I think, in the stories, we haven't had any access to the boys, to any legal representation to the boys. The U.S. Embassy is close here in Rome on the weekend and we haven't heard from the State Department. So, the narrative is driven by the Italian police right now who lost one of their own and are certainly getting their side of the story out.</s>BLACKWELL: All right, Barbara Nadeau, from Rome. Thank you so much.</s>DEAN: Just ahead, how was America's biggest e-cigarette company able to reach children and teenagers in schools and summer camps? Troubling details next.
