Al-Qaeda Suspect Urges Rome's Destruction
(Reuters/MSNBC) Tapes featuring Abu Qatada, a radical Muslim cleric named by Britain as the spiritual inspiration for the lead Sept. 11 hijacker, were found during recent raids in the northern Italian town of Cremona, the weekly news magazine Panorama reported on Friday. "We must destroy Rome," Qatada is reported as saying on the tapes. "The destruction must be carried out by sword. Those who will destroy Rome are already preparing the swords. Rome will not be conquered with the word but with the force of arms," said Qatada, who was arrested by Britain in October 2002.
