Italy Proposes New Measures to Counter Threat

Italy's Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu has proposed the following measures to counter the the threats from murdering cowardly jihadi terrorists:

doubling to 24 hours the time suspects can be kept in custody without charge

interrogating suspects without lawyers present

strengthening of measures to prevent terrorists from financing their operations

increasing penalties for carrying false documents

compiling lists of mobile phone users to help police investigating suspected terrorist crime

monitoring more closely immigrants from outside the EU who are already the subject of criminal investigations. Those considered a threat to public order or state security will be summarily expelled.


He also said security would be stepped up at ports and the public transport system, and mobile phones and the internet would be monitored. BBC News

It seems like Italy is taking the threats made against it very seriously and is taking common sense steps. Now if they would just get rid of that ridicilous law that has 80 year old Oriana Fallaci, a writer in her 70's and stricken with cancer facing jail time for writing a book on the threat posed by Islamics.

It looks like the Italians are taking this threat seriously.
Good.
Let's hope they'll leave Oriana alone.

No one should be put in jail for writing the truth with passion.
