Italian terrorist probed in death threats against archbishop June 13, 2007
An imprisoned member of a left-wing terrorist group is being investigated by Italian police in connection with a death threat against Genoa's Archbishop Angelo Bagnasco.
Nadia Desdemona Lioce, a member of the Red Brigades, is currently jailed on two murder charges. Prison officials recently searched her cell, and found a coded message referring to Archbishop Bagnasco. The local prosecutor in Aquila, Italy, is following up on the evidence that Lioce may be involved in threats against the archbishop.
Archbishop Bagnasco, the president of the Italian bishops' conference, has twice received threatening letters, with bullets enclosed in the envelopes. The archbishop has been under constant police guard.
