(ANSA) - Cagliari, April 24 - A possible terror attack on the
Vatican may have been foiled by a search of one of the al-Qeada
affiliates' homes in Italy in March 2010, police in Cagliari
said Friday.
Two Pakistani suicide bombers had just arrived in Rome, and
almost at the same time police carried out searches, spurring
the organisation to tell the pair it was time for them to get
out - one to Olbia in Sardinia and the other to Bergamo north of
Milan.
During a subsequent search of the home of the head of
Olbia's Islamic community, police said, a piece of paper was
found with a 'martyr's vow" by one of the terrorists, police
said.
