'All in firing line' on Libya

(ANSA) - Valletta, July 22 - Italian President Sergio Mattarella said Wednesday after the recent kidnapping of four Italians in Libya that all countries are "in the firing line" of Islamist fundamentalist terrorism.
    "All are in the firing line - any country that fights for tolerance, civilisation and respect for human lives," he told reporters in the Maltese capital.
    He had been asked if there was a fundamentalist offensive against Italy. Islamist fundamentalist terrorism "is an alarming phenomenon, which must be confronted with firm but intelligent responses," he said. "Democracies...have a capacity to work together, which gives the lie to fundamentalist intolerant propaganda".
