That's an interesting opinion and may be true.

It also could be very public as a warning of some type by someone -- yet to be determined.

Bin Laden May Have Been In Italy In Early 1990's, Says Letter
Milan, 28 Nov.

US investigators have asked to examine a three-page letter found by Italian investigators in 1995 at an Islamic cultural centre in Milan at the centre of many anti-terror investigations, which indicates that al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden could have travelled to Milan in the early 1990s, Rome daily La Repubblica reported on Tuesday. The letter is dated 31 May, 1991, approximately when bin Laden is supposed to have moved from Saudi Arabia to Sudan, from where he was expelled in 1996.

"The news is the arrival of Osama bin Laden," says the document, in which the writer also claims that "by the way, I want those in Egypt to know that I am in Italy."

The letter is part of documents presented by prosecutors at a trial in Milan of 17 terror suspects, mostly Egyptian nationals, accused of using the controversial Islamic centre in viale Jenner - classified as a financier of terrorism causes by the US Treasury Department after 9/11 - to fasify documents, smuggle arms and provide a cover for terror activities. The mosque, according to the prosecution, was at the centre of a network which linked terror activities in Europe and the Middle East.

Investigators however are still reportedly unclear whether the person who wrote the letter, whose signature is Abou Abdallah, was actually in Italy as he claims or in Peshawar, in northern Pakistan, which is the document's dateline.
