Italy says uncovers possible plot to attack Rome, arrests suspects
reuters ^ | 4/28/16

Posted on 04/28/2016 1:14:49 PM PDT by StCloudMoose

Italian police issued arrest warrants on Thursday for six people suspected of conspiring to join Islamic State, and court documents said three of them had been discussing possible attacks on the Vatican and the Israeli embassy in Rome. Four of the suspects - a couple living near Lake Como, a 23-year-old-man and a woman, all of them Moroccans - were detained in Italy on Thursday, Milan prosecutor Maurizio Romanelli told a news conference. The other two - a Moroccan man and his Italian wife - left Italy last year, traveled to Iraq and Syria and are still on the loose, Romanelli added. Italy has not suffered the kind of deadly Islamist attacks that hit France and Belgium, but authorities have arrested a number of people suspected of planning assaults. Transcripts of wire-tapped phone conversations between three of the suspects, contained in the arrest warrant and seen by Reuters, mentioned the possibility of an attack against the Vatican and the Israeli embassy in the Italian capital. "I swear I will be the first to attack them in this Italy of crusaders, I swear I'll attack it, in the Vatican God willing," one of the arrested men is quoted as telling the man on the run in the transcript. In a separate conversation with another of the suspects arrested on Thursday, the same man said he wanted to hit the Israeli embassy in Rome and had contacted an Albanian man to get a gun.

Honestly, I’d think Rooters would be down with an attack on the Vatican. Muslim good, Christians bad, especially Catholics

Reuters fix:

...six Muslim people suspected of conspiring to join Islamic State, and court documents said three of them had been discussing possible attacks on the Vatican and the Israeli embassy in Rome. Four of the Muslim suspects - a Muslim couple living near Lake Como, a 23-year-old- Muslim man and a Muslim woman, all of them Muslim Moroccans - were detained in Italy on Thursday, Milan prosecutor Maurizio Romanelli told a news conference. The other two - a Muslim Moroccan man and his Muslim Italian wife - left Italy last year, traveled to Muslim Iraq and Muslim Syria and are still on the loose, Romanelli added. Italy has not suffered the kind of deadly Islamist attacks that hit France and Belgium, but authorities have arrested a number of people suspected of planning Muslim assaults. Transcripts of wire-tapped phone conversations between three of the Muslim suspects, contained in the arrest warrant and seen by pro-Muslim-sympathizing Reuters, mentioned the possibility of an attack against the Vatican and the Israeli embassy in the Italian capital. "I swear I will be the first to attack them in this Italy of crusaders, I swear I'll attack it, in the Vatican God willing," one of the arrested Muslim men is quoted as telling the man on the run in the transcript. In a separate conversation with another of the Muslim suspects arrested on Thursday, the same man said he wanted to hit the Israeli embassy in Rome and had contacted an Muslim Albanian man to get a gun.

" living near Lake Como"

That is interesting... I read a year or 2 back that "Up North" near the lake or around it proper, shall we say certain people were getting their cohones busted by the likes of the local magistrates and others down the line....

One needn’t watch Beck to see this coming.

Stevie Wonder could have seen it coming.

“Moroccans”...again and again and again...rape, violence and terrorism....all over Europe. There is no war in Morocco as far as I can tell. Why are these scum allowed to immigrate or claim “refugee” status? /rhetorical

No, there isn't. There are Moroccan street gangs aplenty, though, in Holland and Belgium and lately in Stockholm as well. Drug smuggling, assault, robbery, contract murder, just your normal war refugees...

Australia a few years ago paid Moroccans to leave the country before they did a mass round up
