#3 The reports submitted looked at 15 scenarios ranging from a basic suicide bomber attack, to nerve gas to a portable 10 kiloton nuclear weapon attack. According to sources "the scenarios were reviewed solely for the purposes of analysis and referred to case studies for North America".

In other words, the Italians think it won't happen in Italy because of credits taken for American security measures. Any evidence that Italy is implementing the SAME measures the US is?

Intelligence experts also confirm that delivering and transferring a nuclear device of any kind, anywhere, is extremely difficult to keep under raps since radiation can be satellite-tracked.
