Apparent plot to dynamite US embassy in Rome is foiled
Police said Tuesday they had uncovered an apparent plot by seven Lebanese members of the radical Islamic Jihad organization to attack the US Embassy with a dynamite-loaded truck, the Italian news agency ANSA reported. It said the seven were arrested four days ago. News of the arrests was not released until now because the investigation was still under way.
