Anti-terrorism operation of Italian police to nab bodyguards of Osama bin Laden

Italy has undertaken a massive anti-terrorism operation to arrest members of an armed terror group inspired by al-Qaeda. The group claims it was ready to carry out attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 24 April 2015.

The ongoing series of raids is targeting the autonomous island of Sardinia and, on the wanted list are 18 people – two of them are believed to be bodyguards for Osama bin Laden.
It has been revealed by investigators that some of those being tracked by police have already been arrested in Italy. These include an imam suspected of being the group's spiritual leader. However, it is doubted that the others might have already fled abroad.
It seems the group was in possession of plenty of weapons and also had numerous faithful people who were willing to carry out acts of terrorism in Pakistan and Afghanistan before coming back to Italy. Incidentally, all the suspects are believed to be from Pakistan or Afghanistan.

Russian company offers guided tank-tours to war ravaged Donetsk and Luhansk

#russianholiday #tanktour #donetsk #luhansk #ukraine In a major shift in policy, a Russian holiday company is offering guided tours to Donetsk and Luhansk to see the war ravaged countryside with its damaged battle tanks as reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 14 February 2015.
The tours include tank-transport and personal bodyguards and the holiday company appears to be testing the boundaries of tolerance quite literally with such guided tours of war-torn eastern Ukraine.
The four-day tour would come to about £1,300 to £2,000 per person and the company would make available bodyguards from a security firm – each of the tanks will hold between five and seven people.
Apparently, even as a fierce and bloody battle continues between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian forces, the holiday company based in Moscow and known as Megapolis Kurort feels that the scenario has tremendous potentials and want to exploit it.
Incidentally, the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk are on the itinerary of the company and both are strongholds of the pro-Russian rebels and had witnessed large scale violence.
