Italy Arrests Four Moroccan terrorists with Cyanide

Italy arrests four Moroccan terrorists with cyanide and maps...

ROME - Italian police have arrested four Moroccan terrorists in possession of large quantities of a cyanide compound which they might have intended to use in a bio-terrorist attack on Rome's water supply and the U.S. embassy, officials said.

Italian police said they had arrested four Moroccans in possession of large quantities of the deadly poison cyanide and maps of Rome highlighting the U.S. embassy and the city's water supply.

The men, aged between 30 and 40, were seized early on Tuesday after agents traced them to a southern Rome suburb in a covert operation, police sources said on Wednesday. Besides the chemicals, the suspects were found with maps marking the U.S. embassy, charts of the city's water network and a stash of more than 100 forged resident permits.

Police are probing possible links to Osama bin Laden and officials said a possible terror attack had been averted. The arrests came as seven Tunisians stand trial in Milan as part of a crackdown on groups suspected of having ties to bin Laden and his al Qaeda network. The Tunisians are also suspected of plotting an attack on the U.S. embassy in January 2001.

The U.S. embassy on Wednesday hailed the security forces "for their excellent work concerning the most recent security threat to the embassy." But police chiefs and leading anti-terrorist prosecutors, who were meeting behind closed doors, told reporters that leaks regarding the case might have already caused irreparable damage and declined to give details about the probe. Police sources said that at this point the four men were being held only on suspicion of receiving stolen property. They were found with about 10 pounds of a cyanide compound -- potassium ferrocyanide -- which is used in gardening but is toxic in large quantities. Seven grams of pure cyanide is sufficient to kill a human, doctors say.

SUSPECTED TARGET

The Moroccan embassy said it would only comment after Italy confirmed the identities of the men arrested. "We want to see if they are really Moroccan since in Italy, anyone of color is called a Moroccan," an embassy source said.

The U.S. embassy, prominently located on Rome's famed Via Veneto, has been a suspected target for attack on several occasions in recent months. Even before the September 11 attacks on U.S. cities, the embassy was forced to shut for three days after an intelligence warning of a possible bombing. Following the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, the State Department warned again that American symbols in Italy could be targets.

Italy entered the international spotlight in the fight against bin Laden after U.S. investigators said they believed Milan's Islamic cultural center was al Qaeda's main European logistics base. Muslim leaders in Italy have denied the charge. Italy has arrested 20 people suspected of links to extremist Islamic groups since September 11 and has frozen about $302 million in assets.

The four Moroccans arrested on Tuesday had been followed by police for days and their detention was related to the arrest of three more Moroccans last week, police said. The Tunisians on trial in Milan have been charged with intent to commit crimes ranging from the trafficking of arms, explosives and poisonous chemicals to trading in false documents and helping illegal immigrants enter Italy.

Police believe bin Laden sent them to Europe to supervise attacks, including the possible bombing of the U.S. embassy in Rome last January. Italian justice sources last year released transcripts of telephone conversations in which one of the men on trial in Milan indicated that he was planning chemical attacks in Europe. In one conversation, the Tunisian told a Libyan associate that there was a plan to try out a drum of a liquid in France. "This liquid is more efficient because as soon as it opens, people are suffocated," he was quoted as saying.

The amazing Bayside Prophecies...
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

Veronica - Our Lady now is looking down sadly. And I see She's pointing now to what looks like a map. Oh, my! Now as I am watching—it's a map of... oh, I can see Jerusalem, and Egypt, Arabia, French Morocco, Africa. Oh, my goodness! There seems to be a very dense darkness now settling upon those countries. Oh, my! And Our Lady is saying:
Our Lady - "The start of the Third World War, My child." March 29, 1975

Red force gathering
"The forces, the red forces are gathering within the Eternal City of Rome and throughout all of Europe, My children. Unless man turns back quickly, blood shall flow in the streets. Revolution shall come, and many shall die. The world is entering a time of great trial. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer, My children."
- Our Lady, September 7, 1976

Boil your drinking water
Our Lady - "But I tell you this now, why we have the abomination of murders of children, for they are possessed by satan, those who will set into motion laws, laws that are against God. Your country, My child, the United States, shall feel war as never have they conceived in their minds that this could enter upon the glorious nation of the United States and Canada. No, My children, you cannot escape this. Your time is running out.
"My child, I wish that you boil the water in your home. I will tell you now, My children, if you are receiving waters for your use in your homes, it must be boiled....” - July 1, 1985
