Another dramatic attack is being prepared in Sicily Mobilization after the bomb in Rome: Is terrorism returning to Italy? «Serbian lead in the attempted massacre» From our newsroom ROME — Fear of a new wave of terrorism is intensifying in Italy. After the attack that took place on Friday evening in one of Rome’s wealthy neighborhoods, there was another alert yesterday in Sicily: a bomb was thought to have been placed inside the “Vittoria” theater in the city of Ragusa, where well over 200 people were present and a conference by Giovanni Galloni, vice-president of the High Council of the Judiciary (the highest body in the Italian judicial system), was being held. The alert has spread throughout the country and, starting yesterday, has also involved the Italian military: soldiers—as has so far happened only in Sicily and Sardegna—have begun checking all so-called “sensitive sites,” such as airports, foreign embassies and newspaper newsrooms. Christian Democracy MP Clemente Mastella warns: “There is a risk that Italy will be swept by terrorism. It is possible that these two latest incidents, and perhaps others that occurred in the past, were carried out with the help of foreign organizations. There are those,” Mastella continues, “who, because of the climate of instability and the difficult situation Italy is experiencing today, want to create a tragic political situation that will threaten the freedom of all Italians.” One of the hypotheses being investigated is the Serbian one. In recent days, military representatives have made serious threats against Italy, accused of having made its air bases available for attacks on the former Yugoslavia. Speaking about the Serbs, journalist Maurizio Costanzo—identified as a target by the attackers—said shortly after the bomb attack: “I hope the threats coming from the Serbian side do not come true.” Another hypothesis is a mafia threat. Maurizio Costanzo (a contributor to the “Gazeta” and host of a popular talk show on Channel 5) has often taken a strong stand in the fight against the mafia. After the massacres that claimed the lives of the two judges Falcone and Borsellino, Italian police dealt a heavy blow to organized crime, arresting even the Cosa Nostra boss, Salvatore Riina. The Rome attack, in which one kilogram of explosives was used (leaving 21 injured, damaging one hundred homes and three schools, and destroying 50 cars), is the most serious incident in Italy since the Palermo massacre: investigators fear it could be the beginning of a “new campaign of violence” through which the mafia is trying to demonstrate its strength. The terrorism and mafia hypotheses do not definitively rule each other out. And a news agency received a revenge call from the organization “Falanga e armatosur,” a group of a terrorist nature that has often also been associated with attacks and mafia killings. The head of Italian Criminalpol, Luigi Rossi, appears to share the same view: “The bomb that exploded in Rome,” he declared yesterday evening, “is an attack of origin... One of the cars completely destroyed by the explosion them, creating a tragic political situation that would the investigators are working on is the Serbian one. A few days ago, Serb-Bosnian military representatives issued serious threats against Italy, accused of making Once again, journalist Maurizio Costanzo — named as a target by the attackers — a few minutes after the explosion of

7 Albanian clandestine migrants discovered near Modena SASSUOLO — Seven young Albanian men aged between 18 and 25 entered Italy clandestinely. They managed to evade border checks by hiding in a truck that left Thessaloniki, Greece, on 8 May. But all seven young men were discovered and arrested in Sassuolo, in the province of Modena, by officers from the police station. One of the young men used the space between the truck bed and the mudguards as a hiding place for four days straight. They used a few sugar cubes and stagnant water as food and drink. The clandestine migrants were discovered by the Greek truck driver who was transporting a load of magnesium ore from Greece to the Sassuolo factory «Spry Dry». When he arrived in Sassuolo the following day, he removed the truck’s covering and found himself face to face with the seven hungry and exhausted Albanian migrants. He immediately notified the Sassuolo police station, whose officers “detained” the young men for violating the provisions of Minister Conso’s decree on immigration. In short, they had evaded—or rather, had not undergone—border checks. The young men, all from Tirana, are: Hysa Shepetru, 19, Fajton Prodani, 25, Altin Domi, 19, Lulzim Reka, 22, Islam Hasa, 18, Artan Janku, 24, and another Lulzim Reka (also 22; they gave the same personal details despite having different names). They were all sentenced by the Modena prosecutor to 5 months and ten days and an immediate penalty. On Saturday morning, they were escorted to the Trieste border. From there they will be sent to Albania. Two of them had previously also tried to enter Italy aboard a ship that later ended up on the coast of Brindizi.

TIRANA — Travelers’ checks—travel check—will also be used in Albania. To learn about this type of service, a seminar was organized in Tirana for employees of the banking system, led by Gena Tank, head of the Central and Eastern Europe Section at the International Travelers Cheque Center. According to ATSH, the advantages offered by travelers’ checks, the procedures for issuing them, the arrangements for handling and reimbursement in the event of loss, as well as their practical use, were among the main issues discussed at the seminar. Travelers’ checks may make tourists’ arrival and expenses easier.

Qualification for the 1994 World Cup in the USA A wonderful performance by our national football team in the match counting toward the standings in Group Three, as part of the international championship that will be held next year in the United States. In Saturday’s match against the Latvian team, played in difficult conditions on the Riga pitch, the Albanians showed themselves to be very well prepared and did not concede a single goal: the match in fact ended in a draw. This excellent performance brings the Albanian team to 4 points in the overall standings, a result that had not been expected before. Spain 11 Denmark 10 Eire 9 Lithuania 7 Northern Ireland 6 Latvia 5 Albania 4 The match was played in front of around 6,000 spectators. After a match in Budapest, the national football team returned to Tirana yesterday. The next match will be a friendly against the Italian Under-21 team on June 6. The Italian team’s coaches, Roberto Boninsegna and Ettore Reccagni, have gathered at the Covercano technical center for training, which will begin tomorrow at 10:30. The players are: Madde (Alessandria), Pecchia (Avellino), Salvadego (Carrarese), Oliva and Valdacca (Casarano), Delfino (Casertana), Russo (Catania), Giacopuzzi (Chievo Verona), Collaudi (Como), Filippi and Galante (Empoli), Solvero (Nola), Assennato (Palermo), Castelli (Perugia), Campolo and Tedesco (Reggina), Fommei (Siena), and Napolitano (Sora).

It is one of the results that has stirred up the Totocalcio betting odds. There are Lazio (Signori confirms himself as a great scorer: he has scored 25 goals in all), Sampdoria, and Foggia, even though they are currently in last place. As for the Apulian teams, salvation is just around the corner, whereas not long ago it seemed like a dream. In the race for second place, two matches are still undecided: in Serie B, Pescara (a proud, wonderful performance against Napoli, who are already on holiday) and Ancona, with two places still available. Brescia, Udinese, Fiorentina, and Genoa are the teams in danger. A demanding schedule in the final three Sundays is enlivened by head-to-head matches. Fiorentina, now fourth from bottom, will play one such match in five days against Udinese (a missed opportunity against Brescia: from 2–0 to a final 2–2 draw, with Brescia missing a penalty), and another against Foggia on the final matchday. The Acireale–Perugia match was the C Division’s big fixture: nothing came of it, and the draw leaves both sides’ chances of winning intact. The Sicilians have a one-point lead, with two rounds remaining.

PARMA — Parma celebrated its Cup victory in the best possible way, defeating a short-sighted Juventus in Saturday’s match (overtaking them in the standings to take third place), bringing Asprilla back, and confirming Osio, the man who played in this position for the team in place of the Colombian and who tonight, in addition to scoring twice, showed through his actions that he is a true champion. The victory was made clear in the first half, when Parma truly exploded into action. But the team also played well in the first half, keeping its opponents constantly under pressure: those Juventus players, wearing Parma’s uniform, controlled the game without embarrassment, and were too weak to score.

IRAQ, A SUPER-CANNON IS IN THE WORKS — Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is preparing to build a new “super-cannon” using original plans, modified, that had been prepared by Bush. It mysteriously fell into Iraqi hands.
