ARTICLE SNIPPET: "ROME, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has said a suicide bomber was plotting to blow him up in a soccer stadium, and he accused his domestic political opponents of exposing Italy to terror attacks.
"I am the subject of a direct threat. A suicide bomber in a stadium aiming for me," Berlusconi told Italian newspaper Libero in an interview published on Thursday.
"But it is not a question of me. We're also talking about Italy. Aren't people worried about this?" he added in what the conservative daily called a furious and bitter outburst.
"We are talking about saving our country," he said.
Berlusconi did not say when the plot was uncovered or if it was an ongoing threat, and his office declined comment."

Al Qaeda’s branch in Iraq rallied Muslims to step up the fight while a militant group linked to the terror network promised a “gift” for Eid al-Fitr, a major Muslim holiday starting on Thursday.
In an unprecedented move, the Al Qaeda Organization in the Land of Two Rivers posted a statement Wednesday on the Internet confirming the sighting of the new moon to signal the feast.
It congratulated Muslims everywhere on the holiday, which marks the end of Ramadan, the month of daytime fasting and prayers.
“From Mesopotamia we send our best wishes to the nation of tawhid (monotheism) for this blessed holiday and to every mujahid (holy fighter) we say: Patience, patience and courage in the fight against the infidels,” said the statement signed in the name of spokesman Abu Maisara al-Iraqi.
“We also congratulate our leaders and emirs and ask God the almighty to protect them and all the mujahedeen,” added the statement in reference to Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab Al Zarqawi.
