Another day and another one of those things we’re not supposed to talk about. In the past few weeks, two Muslims were arrested for plotting to bomb the Eiffel Tower and another was shot down in France after stabbing 5 people. (Authorities are still searching for the motive of the stabber who was shouting “Allahu Akbar”. It’ll turn out to be ‘mental illness’.
Now over to Italy.
An attack foiled at the Santa Rosa festival in Viterbo . The newspaper Il Messaggero reports that two Turkish citizens were arrested by the Italian Special Operations Division (DIGOS) with machine guns and other weapons. According to the Roman newspaper, the two men had a detailed plan and were ready to shoot.
According to Adnkornos, a citizen who reported the two Turkish nationals’ suspicious movements was the one who led them onto the trail. When police arrived at the scene around 2:30 PM yesterday, the two men—one aged 22, the other 40—were in their room with the submachine gun.
Assorted Italian officials from the Meloni government and the Israeli ambassador were supposed to be present.
The media is trying to claim that this is organized crime, but the Santa Rosa festival is a Christian religious event so why would gangsters care about it?
Thousands of people attend Viterbo’s Macchina di Santa Rosa festival, a religious procession and celebration held every year on Sept. 3 to honor the city’s patron saint, Santa Rosa. The main event involves 100 “Facchini di Santa Rosa,” porters carrying a towering, illuminated structure called the “Macchina,” which weighs nearly 5 tons, through the city’s narrow medieval streets.
Either way you can imagine the carnage with 40,000 people gathered there.

If they ever get tired of searching for a motive, they can turn it over to the FBI, whose specialty seems to be searching for a motive.
