Chris McManus, 28, from Oldham, Greater Manchester, and LaMolinara Franco died in the rescue attempt by special forces of the United Kingdom and the army of Nigeria, on Thursday. They were kidnapped by Islamists for nine months.

Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, said it was "inexplicable" that the British government did not inform him before starting the rescue attempt.

In London, the spokesman for the Prime Minister confirmed that the Italian government had been informed of the rescue attempt after being released, but added that the possibility of a raid had been raised in previous discussions and no objections were expressed.

"We have had numerous contacts with the Italians over the last nine months and a rescue was possible," he said. There was no objection to this possibility, he said.

Italian officials were informed after the mission was underway, but at this stage, there was no chance to stop the mission, which was led by Nigerians, he said.

Downing Street has not had any complaints of the Italians, the spokesman. British and Italian authorities have worked together to ensure the repatriation of the bodies, he added.

David Cameron telephoned Italian Prime Minister, Mario Monti, just after the raid by British special forces in Nigeria had failed, causing a brief note from Monti that the attack had been "launched independently by the Nigerian authorities with British support, to inform the Italian authorities after the raid began. " A spokeswoman told the Guardian that the Italian Prime Minister had been advised of the transaction "because it was already underway on Thursday morning."

"A few hours later she was informed of the tragic end of the transaction by David Cameron," he added.

Monti then telephoned the President Goodluck Jonathan, to require a "detailed reconstruction" of events that led to the death of LaMolinara.
