Italy:  Police Arrest Men With Cyanide and Waterworks Map

Police in Rome yesterday arrested four Moroccans in possession of a cyanide-based chemical and a map of Rome’s water supply system (see GSN, Dec. 3, 2001).

Police arrested the men during a dawn raid yesterday on their apartment in southern Rome, according to Agence France-Presse.  The U.S. and British embassies were highlighted on the map.  Police also discovered several forged documents in the apartment.

The four men had previously been under surveillance for several days and police arrested them after gathering evidence that they had the chemical, police said.  The men had more than four kilograms of the chemical, which could have caused “dozens of deaths,” the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported (Agence France-Presse, Feb. 20).
