Spain investigates Al Qaeda threat against Vatican:

Madrid: Spanish police are investigating a fax sent to a television station and newspaper containing veiled threats against the Vatican in the name of Al Qaeda, police said Wednesday.

The three-page text in Arabic was sent to state television TVE Monday and to the daily ABC Tuesday.

The author accuses the Vatican of having supported the Nazis and the Iraq war. He justifies the recent terrorist attacks in London and the 2004 Madrid train bombings as acts of legitimate defence against "terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan".

Police believe an Al Qaeda sympathiser sent the fax, according to ABC. Police sources described the text as a "generic threat" which does not mention any names of potential targets at the Vatican.

Hmmm, I wonder why they would sent a veiled threat against the Vatican (Italy) to a Spanish television station?

Wasn't the supposed sequence of attacks England (already happened), Italy, than America?
