| Italy: Al-Qaeda website users urge terror suspects' release |
| 2008-12-05 |
| (AKI) - Users of an an Al-Qaeda website have called for the release of the two Moroccans accused of planning terror attacks in the northern Italian city of Milan. "We are asking Allah to free his prisoners," said one user called Abu Sami, said on the 'al-Shura' website. Ilhami Rachid and Abdelkader Ghaffir are alleged to have been planning attacks on several sites in the northern Italian city of Milan, including the city's famous Duomo cathedral. They were arrested late Tuesday and police released details of telephone taps during which they planned the alleged attacks. "Based on Italian law, the two can remain under arrest for an entire year before being formally charged," said an al-Shura user who called himself Abu Ahmad. "A source close to the investigation believes the two detainees were not at the point of carrying out the attack but were only planning it," Abu Ahmad added. News of the two arrests received little coverage in the Arab press. London-based daily, Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, was the only Arab language newspaper that reported the arrests. |

| #1 "Based on Italian law, the two can remain under arrest for an entire year before being formally charged," But, but, what about their HUMAN RIGHTS???? On second thought, when the libs shut down Gitmo, we can send them all to Italy for sanctuary. Wouldn't want terrorists tortured in their home countries, and all. |
