...Swiss alerted the Italian secret service, which immediately swung into action. In a predawn raid, agents broke into two apartments in the seaside resort of Ladispoli, 24 miles northwest of Rome. There they rounded up seven young Lebanese, all students at the University of Rome. In the apartments the Italian agents found volumes of propaganda for Islamic Jihad, the outfit that claimed responsibility for the Beirut embassy bombing, as well as last year's suicide attack on the U.S. Marine compound in Beirut in which 241 American servicemen died.

"I am a member of the human species," he said. Human babies come first. It was unapologetic speciesism. He did not even have to resort to sociology, to the argument that in a society that eats beef, wears mink and has for some time been implanting pigs' valves in human hearts, the idea of weighing an animal's life equally against a human baby's is bizarre...
