Italy seeks to extend powers to fight terror. (moved from ATSNN)

Italy, still reeling from the London bombings, has decided to clamp down on terrorism. Going by some of the precedents set by the USA, Italy has limited some of the rights of their citizens. Italy however, is not as restrictive as the USA is with the patriot act from 2001.




I believe that stopping terrorism is good, but I dont want to see this trend of slowly limiting the rights of citizens to continue, how much is enough? I think we should go full out trying to turn those 3rd world countries the terrorists came from, into strong countries. But this notion of money and greed keeps us from doing what needs to be done.

Speaking from Dakar in a phone interview with the Sky TG24 station, Abdul Qadir Fadlallah Mamour - a Senegalese radical Muslim cleric, who was deported from Italy as a security threat two years ago - said an action would strike Italy in the near future .

"Within six months Italy will be subject to a chemical attack. Now is the time to strike [Italian Premier Silvio] Berlusconi and this will happen shortly," said Abdul Qadir Fadlallah Mamour. "The cities that could be hit are symbolic ones: Rome, Milan, Bologna and Venice. The weapons will be non-conventional ones such as nerve gas, which current Italian security measures are unable to detect." The imam put the timeframe for the attack at between a few weeks and six months, depending on the group involved .
