Italy Busts Alleged Terror Cell (AP) Police arrested 28 Pakistanis — termed them an "al Qaeda terrorist cell" — and found explosives, forged documents and maps of the Naples area with "sensitive targets" circled, authorities said Friday.

Here's what's REALLY interesting:

Police said they picked up the 28 Thursday during a routine search in Naples for illegal immigrants.

I wonder what INS would find if they could round up the 3000 missing arabs?

3000 lawsuits probably. Each accompanied by an attorney.

Sounds like this is the group that was said to be on its way to Europe. Not too smart if they were rounded up in a routine search for illegals . . . Which is pitiful, because our own INS couldn't pull off a bust like that if they were tipped off by Usama himself. The INS is totally corrupt and clintonized.

Naples is the place to find everything illegal in Italy.

Actually, it looks like this was a major bust--and I'm betting the "immigration sweep" was just cover to keep from revealing their sources. More very interesting details here:
