[concrete is my business]

Is there a third option?

Could the Italian "dupes have been in on it?

Could the Italian dupes have gotten a cut?

Actually.... there is a large organization which runs throughout Italy: It's a nationalist Socialist movement. Some of its reps are in government. And Italy's Anarchist Movement links to the worldwide Anarchist movement. When you read their materials, you see, how much they are into all kinds of "resistance". Against their own countries, and especially against all countries involved with the WOT.

Now then. The big question to my line of thinking is:

WHERE DID CERTAIN PLAYERS IN ITALY GET THE MONEY TO PAY CURRENT AND PAST -- HOSTAGE RANSOM. Where did that money come from.

To me, that's the gazillion dollar question.

.....Could the Italian "dupes have been in on it?....

Yes, definitely.

....Could the Italian dupes have gotten a cut?....

Well yes but..... if the funds were raised to idealogically support the insurgents, it would seem that all the money would be passed on.

and of course, the strength of the concrete is inversely proportional to the water cement ratio.
