ROME (Reuters) - Italian police arrested four Moroccans on Tuesday in possession of large quantities of cyanide and maps of Rome highlighting the location of the U.S. embassy, ANSA news agency reported early on Wednesday.

ANSA quoted police sources as saying the Moroccans, aged 30 to 40, also had maps of Rome's water system.

Police were not immediately available for comment.

At least two of the men arrested had been followed after three other Moroccans were arrested last week, ANSA said.

My final answer is "All of them." Do I win?

No fair. You musta peeked at the answer sheet.

I don't think you are capable of spelling, but that aside, it was a jest...apparently at your hypersensitive expense. Sorry.

Long long ago, I spent a month in Rome and it and Munich were the only places in Europe where I felt ok with drinking the water. There are public drinking fountains all over the place with a constant flow of water.

Remember a while back when those German tourists got car-jacked and killed in central Florida?

I predicted then that the mafia would make an example out of the perps to protect their Disney interests.

I think the perps turned themselves in after a few days.

Even the hint that these muslims were after the Pope will get La Costra Nostra busy outting Al Queda efforts to smuggle terrorists and weapons around the World. Remember that joker the Italians found in the shipping container back in November? Nothing illegal moves through ports in the Western World without the mob knowing about it. In the Easter World it is the Triads.

well that oughtta cheer people up

That may be a major part of the problem -- people want to be cheered up and didn't want to accept the enormity of what the director of the CIA said then.  That was informed opinion in the government speaking.  People just didn't want to believe it and considered America untouchable, blessed of God.  Where is the sign of the enemy coming?  They just said, No! and staggered in unbelief.  The light is dawning on a few that it is the land of unwalled villages.

Eze 38:11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of *unwalled villages;* I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

I think America is becoming more prepared for the big one all the time. It won't be pretty though
