ARTICLE SNIPPET: "ROME, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- The Italian authorities Tuesday banned flights over Rome until Jan. 6 as a security measure against terrorist attack, the Italian news agency Ansa reported.
This was part of a heightened state of alert in Italy, Ansa said.
On Dec. 24, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi told a local Milan paper that terrorists had planned to crash a hijacked plane into the Vatican on Christmas Day.
The paper published no details, and there was no attack. But Ansa said the alert continues."
You have put a lot of effort into this thread, thank you for all your time and research.
BTW I had a horrible nightmare after reading here and then taking a nap so I will make sure I read a humor thread before my next one. Having a cold and feeling cruddy probably added to that.
I was dreaming I could not wake up from my nap and could not breath due to a bio attack and I knew I was dying and didn't want to, then I woke up terrified.
