Italy dismisses beach terror plots report

Italy has dismissed a report in a German newspaper warning that terrorists were planning attacks on beaches in Italy, Spain and France.

In a sensational report on Tuesday, the German daily, Bild, said that jihadists were planning to pose as refreshment sellers at beach resorts in the three countries, before detonating suicide vests and bombs planted beneath sun loungers.

A source at Italy’s anti-terrorism department dismissed the report when contacted by The Local.

Meanwhile, a source at the Italian intelligence services was quoted by Ansa as saying the claims were "groundless" and that "there is no specific terror alert on Italian beaches".

Bild claimed the information came from Italian and German secret agents, with the alleged attacks planned at resorts in southern France, Spain’s Costa del Sol, and unnamed Italian beaches.

The newspaper also quoted Seck Pouye, the chief of police in Senegal, who said that the terrorists, from the Boko Haram Islamist group in Nigeria which allies itself with Isis, planned to radicalize regular travellers between Senegal and Europe to carry out the attacks.
 

Italy has upped security following terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels in recent months and after receiving threats from Isis.

A total of 259 people were arrested on terror charges in Italy in 2015, with 67 of them being expelled from the country as a result. Among these was a Moroccan man, deported in late December after saying he would "blow up Rome". A further nine have been deported since January.

And the Romanovs ignored rumors of Bolsheviks coming to execute them, Jews ignored rumors of death camps, and LIVs have ignored the demise of America.  You ignore at your own risk. :poohappen:

Genetic history of the Italians

Author: Maciamo (originally published in July 2013. Last updated on February 2015

"Italy is a fascinating country for population geneticists and historians alike. As Metternich said in 1847 "Italy is only a geographical expression". The peninsula was unified by Piedmont two decades later, but Metternich's remark still largely holds true today. There isn't one Italian people, but a multitude of ethnic and cultural groups, often with an independent history of their own going back to ancient times.

Countless people have settled in Italy since the Neolithic: Near Eastern farmers, Italic tribes, Ligurians, Etruscans, Phoenicians, Greeks, Celts, Goths, Lombards, Byzantines, Franks, Normans, Swabians, Arabs, Berbers, Albanians, Austrians and more. All have left their genetic print on the populations of the regions where they settled."

"God must love the common man, he made so many of them.�  Abe Lincoln
