Top news: 9 April 2004, Friday.

Rome will be hit by a bomb attack, according to information of the Italian military intelligence, obtained by the Middle East. The explosive device has already been transported to Italy. Security measures in the Italian capital were tightened following the warnings of terror attacks. Flights of small planes over Rome has been banned.

The Vatican is considered to face the most serious danger. At the beginning of April the Italian police found a videotape in which Al-Qaeda warns of an upcoming attack against Rome. The videotape was found at the home of a purported member of the Islamist terror organization in the Italian northern town of Cremona, Italian media reported on Friday.

"Those, who will destroy Rome, is already making ready his swords. Rome will be conquered not with words but with force and weapons," a man believed to be Jordanian Abu Katda al Falastini, Al-Qaeda member, says in the tape.

What better (in their minds) time to hit when millions of people are in Rome for the holidays. Let's hope they catch the culprits
