LONDON — Police arrested 40 people in cities throughout Italy in raids on Muslim gathering places in a security crackdown after Britain thwarted an alleged terror plot, the Interior Ministry said Friday, as Pakistani intelligence agents claimed there was an Al Qaeda connection with ties to Afghanistan to the group of suspected terrorists arrested Thursday.


The arrests in Italy were made Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence, Naples and other cities on Thursday and Friday "as part of an extraordinary operation that followed the British anti-terrorist operation," the ministry said in a statement.

That would at least have had something to do with fighting terrorism, rather than *generating* it.

India will deal with Pakistan.
At least Pakistan DOES something.
Unlike Syria, Lebanon and Jordan.
Let's put Iran on that list also.
All men are created equal, but what they do after that point puts them on a sliding scale.

Seems like we are putting up a decent fight if you ask me.
