I've also told her about the Italian paper article ("AQ: We will destroy NYC in <=35 days."). Do you have a reference to this?

Yep. It was in the main Italian paper of the Prime Minister and reported by Debka:

Note that no-one here (or anywhere else) disputed the fact it was IN that paper..instead, many blasted Debka. But NO-ONE in the USG, FR, or any major news agency argued the fact that the article WAS published on the front page of what is apparently Italy's main paper.

I'm surprised there are not more like me absolutely freaking out about this. Imagine if this was the front page of the NYT, WSJ, etc. Isn't that what we're talking about here, with it being front page of one of Italy's main (equivalent to NYT, etc) papers?!!!

Seems like a pretty credible threat to me.

But NO-ONE in the USG, FR, or any major news agency argued the fact that the article [saying al-Qaeda threatens to destroy NYC within 35 days, apparently in some form of nuclear blast] WAS published on the front page of what is apparently Italy's main paper.

OK, I'll dispute, or at least ask questions:

What is the evidence that this is a newspaper of major significance? I would think that Rome's biggest paper would be the main one. Is this even the main newspaper of Milan?

I can't find the article, or even a site for the paper, anywhere on the web. I'd like to see the original. Can anyone else help here?
