Plot to kill the POPE averted - Italy expelled Moroccans

Looks like America and the UK are not the only ones with a Muslim problem and the “student” and “youth” populations are only the known issues.  The terorist are exploiting every and any way that all the other criminal elements use to enter our communities.  They are stealthy at it.

The bible has pointed to the moon g-d and told us to be ware of these types of FAITHS.  Our politically decrepit society is too stupid to understand that Religion is FAITH and some faiths are DANGEROUS.  One must use WISDOM and discrimination to understand the good in something.  Just because it comes in to the foray and call itself a faith doesn’t necessarily mean that it is absolutely a GOOD thing.

DISCRIMINATION, at one time, used to be a virtue.  Wisdom in judgement was a goal to strive for and achieve through a HIGH regard for morality, virtue and value.  Kinda like the American flag.

Italy expelled Moroccans on suspicion of Pope plot

ROME (Reuters) – Two Moroccan students deported from Italy last month were suspected of plotting to assassinate Pope Benedict, an Interior Ministry source said on Friday.

Mohamed Hlal, 26, and Ahmed Errahmouni, 22, students at the University for Foreigners in the central Italian city of Perugia, had been under surveillance by anti-terrorist police for months before they were expelled on April 29.

“During their inquiry, investigators found evidence suggesting the two (suspects) were plotting an attack on the pope,” said the source.

An interior ministry statement issued at the time of their deportation said they were being expelled under prevention of terrorism laws.

Six other foreign students, suspected of contacts with militant Islamic groups, are still under investigation.

News magazine Panorama, owned by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s family, reported on Friday that local anti-terrorist police had tapped Hlal’s phone and had raised the alarm when he said he wanted to acquire explosives.

The magazine said police discovered a map of Turin at Errahmouni’s house annotated with numbers and circles, ahead of a visit to the northern Italian city by Pope Benedict on May 2 to venerate the Shroud of Turin, which many Catholics believe was Jesus Christ’s burial cloth.

Panorama described Errahmouni as a computer expert who remained in contact with militant groups over the Internet. It said Perugia had become a centre for travelling imams to preach radical Islam.

Turkish citizen Mehmet Ali Agca, who shot and seriously wounded Paul John Paul in 1981, was also enrolled as a language student at Perugia

university.

Intelligence reports and arrests show militant Islamic groups linked to al Qaeda, especially in North Africa, are active in Italy, mostly recruiting and financing for attacks planned elsewhere in Europe.

However, alarm was raised in October by a failed attack on an army barracks near Milan by a 35-year-old Libyan man. Mohammed Game, whose hand was blown off when he hurled a bomb, was believed to have had accomplices, police said.
