| Islamic militants linked to Italian Mafia group | |
| 2004-04-19 | |
Italian investigators have found a link between Islamic militant groups and the Camorra, one of Italy’s main organised crime groups, a top anti-Mafia investigator said on Monday. "We have evidence that groups of the Camorra are implicated in an exchange of weapons for drugs with terrorist groups," Pierluigi Vigna, Italy’s national anti-mafia prosecutor, told reporters at the foreign press club. Asked what kind of groups, he said: "Islamic terrorist groups." Vigna, whose Rome-based office coordinates the work of magistrates investigating organised crime in Italy, said he could not give more details. Pressed further, he suggested the cooperation came about after a member of the Camorra, the Naples-area version of the Sicilian Mafia, converted to Islam and met in prison with Muslims who had been arrested in Italy.

| #7 Again NMM, whats with the lies and the Catholic Bashing? THe conversion to Muslim in prison are a fact. The gang is a fact. ITs dealings with Islamic terror groups are alledged and supposedly evidenced in what the police have found. In other words, NMM you bigoted piece of simian filth, you're lying again and I busted you again. |

| #4 Let me qualify that. Some RCs hate Jews, be the impetus cultural or familial or just the fact that other people in the neighborhood do. A sampling of RCs is not all RCs. We're back to Logic 101. (Do they still teach that?) |

| #2 Um, I have never expressed any hatred towards Jews, and in fact have been accused of being Jewish for defending their right to defend themselves against terrorism. And, ya know, criminals might be more interested in, oh, cash than anything else. |
