Italian authorities are on the alert for al Qaeda attacks on U.S. or NATO interests in Italy around July 4, based on intelligence reports and threats broadcast by the al Jazeera TV network in Qatar. Intelligence officials are reportedly monitoring the activities of some 50 Italians of the far right and far left who have converted to the al Qaeda cause. Potential targets include diplomatic and commercial offices, ports, airports, railroads, infrastructure, and places of worship.

A series of strikes is underway here. Some 11,000 doctors walked off the job June 21 to protest government reforms passed June 18 that, among other things, will force doctors to choose between practice in the private and public sectors. Only emergency treatments were guaranteed. Transport strikes, which have plagued the country for months, were planned for ferries to Sicily, trains to Naples and Venice and airports in Milan. Follow local press reports to avoid being inconvenienced.
