2005-07-13 |
![]() Spanish news agency Efe said Rafik had been linked by the Moroccan authorities to the Casablanca bombings in 2003 which killed 46 people. Six other North Africans, believed to have been part of the same cell, are being tried in nearby Cremona. Investigators said the Cremona-based cell was connected to international militant networks - raising money, faking identity documents and recruiting extremists to fight abroad. On Tuesday, the Italian government announced plans to introduce special measures to combat the threat of attack in the wake of the London bombings. Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu told MPs that "terrorism is knocking on Italy's door". He said security would be stepped up at ports and the public transport system, and mobile phones and the internet would be monitored. |

#1 If they only intend to lock-up terrorists for 3 months, I hope they will at least provide us with DNA samples and copies of their prints so that we can protect ourselves. |
