...predawn raid on an apartment building in a neighborhood six miles southeast of Rome, Italian officials last week arrested four Moroccan men and found dozens of fake identification documents, charts of Rome's water system and a map of the city with the U.S. embassy circled...
...predawn raid netted four Moroccan men and dozens of fake identification documents, charts of the capital's water systems and a Rome city map with the U.S. embassy circled in red. As news of the arrests spread, there was immediate concern that the city's water supply was a terrorist target, with some reports indicating that the terrorists had identified access to the water system under the U.S. embassy on the Via Veneto.

That tiny blue patch of Israel hemmed in by shades of purple will show that the war against the Jewish State is simultaneously a war against the only democracy in the Arab part of the region. Any criticism of Israeli democracy within the context of Middle East politics is subject to strict comparative standards, or else it is merely an excuse for delegitimating the Jewish people...
