| 9-11 Strike on Milano? |
| 2002-04-18 |
Interesting. Binny speaks and Abdul acts?... They wanted to try for Bush at last year's G8 conference... Could we be having a second close ally soon? Zahir Shah just left Italy for Afghanistan, and Milan's Italy's financial center... Italy's been going after the Bad Guys in the courts, but the occasional government muckety-muck has issued the usual Eurodrivel, despite Berlusconi's consistent support... Drudge sez: "A small plane flew into Milan's "Pirelli" skyscaper which lodges the offices of the Lombardy region, according to the news agency Ansa. The police did not confirm the information but said the last two floors of the building were hit by an explosion. A broker working in a building lodging the US consulate in Milan said the building has been surrounded by police and is being evacuated. The building is in the centre of Milan and about 1 kilometre away from the Pirelli building." Plane originated in Locarno, originally reported as Ljubljana... They're downplaying the terrorism angle, but it would certainly be a coincidence to have three in the space of seven months - one terrorism, one a copycat kiddy, and one an accident, especially a symbol of Italian industrialism... Local eyewitness tells FoxNews it's unusual for planes to fly near the building... Berlusconi is on his way back to Italia from Bulgaria... Footage on teevee looks like the plane went most of the way through the building... At least three confirmed dead... Only the pilot was on board... He was a 75-year-old Italian - no turban. Guess it's a false alarm... It's still damned strange... |
