Gunmen hijack bus in northern Italy
© 2007 The Associated Press
ROME Three gunmen hijacked a bus traveling in northern Italy on Tuesday and set it on fire before running into a police blockade, officials and news reports said. The passengers were freed and were safe, and one police officer was injured.
The regional bus was traveling toward Novara, a town about 60 miles northeast of Turin. A police official in Novara confirmed that the gunmen had taken over the bus, but said he could not provide more information because the operation was continuing.
ANSA said the gunmen forced the driver to turn the bus around. An off-duty police officer who was on board tried to intervene and was stabbed, but was not in serious condition, ANSA said.
The bus ground to a halt at a police blockade. After forcing the passengers off, the gunmen set the bus on fire. One of the gunmen was apprehended, and two others were being sought, ANSA said.

Fox News just reported that they were North Africans.
Militant Copts? Angry Rastafarians?

Fox News just reported that they were North Africans."North Africans," huh? That's right. If something like that had happened here they would be "homegrown terrorists."

I think we should refer to them as "Religion of Warriors". That way, we can just call them ROWers, as in, "hey, I bet this was pulled off by those ROWers over in the middle east". It just rolls off the tongue, don't you think?

I think you are giving way too much credit to the demonrats on the wising up part..... Not really, just equating apples and apples - and, since we all know how hopless the LooneyLeft is - my response was a polite version of "When H*ll freezes over".

Well, it’s POSSIBLE that they’re not Moslem, but OTOH, when you specify “NORTH Africans”, 1 has to figure they probably ARE.

My guess is that the Evil Pope has incited his followers to take hostage some of those nice Muslim folks who are just trying to practice their Religion Of Peace™!
It seems to happen daily. When will someone finally stand up to them?

Some reports suggested the men were also in possession of weapons.?????
The article started off saying "Three armed men"...do they now mean these hijacker's all have three arms, and may have weapons? lol!!
