Italian authorities have received a tip-off that a group of Islamists were planning a bomb attack on the seat of Roman Catholicism, according to reports. The Corriere newspaper carried an unsourced report on Friday that a group of Islamists from Bosnia were planning a bomb attack on the Vatican. According to the report the group, made up of seven men and three women, has already arrived in Rome. Checks have been launched along the border with Slovenia and security at airports has been tightened, the Corriere newspaper wrote. Italy has identified 13,600 targets at risk of attack, including the Vatican so far.

Bad move.
WHEW! The terrorists better NOT even think it!
The only person who can declare a true Crusade is the Pope. How many divisions does the Pope have? That's what Stalin asked.
The Islaminazis will continue to sow the seeds of a Circa 800 AD conflict for years to come. They may ultimately succeed yet...
"Religious" beings have been the cause of FAR MORE deaths and misery (regardless of allegiance) throughout history than any other idealogues!!!
You think that countries and possibly private armies wouldn't be available if a Crusade was called ?
It's not how many divisions does he have, how much money and men can the Church raise to fight ?
Too bad that they're not effective against a truck-bomb.
There are some prophecies by catholic saints that say the Vatican would be destroyed by Muslims, and that they would invade into Europe.
Poland is the only country that I can think of that the Pope could count on. Perhaps Croatia or Slovenia.
Any others that you can think of?
Thank God clintoon is gone, or he might supply air support.

How many has Stalin have now?
This would be a bad move on the part of the Jihadis, but I suspect that this is precisely what they want.
Yep, that's how it is done. Should say that's how it was done, assuming it won't be done again.
The Marines are heavily Catholic.
GRATITUDE done Islamic style.
That's what some of their leaders have said. They want to spark a final showdown. They aren't being realistic if they expect China, for one, to come in on their side or even to go against the West and leave Islam standing alone at the end. Things don't often work out as planned.
Well, doesn't that just beat all. Can we bomb Mecca if they do this?
Which prophesies and by who?
Too many cousin marriages addle the brain! This is why the Jihadis are such idiots!
