Italian Interior Minister Warns of Sleeping Terror Cells

AGI (Italy): Italian Interior Minister Warns of Sleeping Terror Cells

Rome, Aug 16 - "We don't exclude the risk that sleeping or partially active terrorist groups and even single individuals might mobilise suddenly, hitting the national territory directly, even if there are no direct impulses from abroad," said the Interior minister, Giuseppe Pisanu, in the traditional August bank holiday press conference at the Internal Affairs Ministry.

… As to the new threats from Al Qaeda, Pisanu said that they are "in perfect harmony with the previous ones." "We don't underestimate them, but we don't let them scare us, and we continue with the preventive measures already implemented." According to Pisanu, "the Italians don't change their habits, answering in the most composed way to the continuing announces in the media that only want to increase the fear for Islamic terrorism."
