A bomb exploded in front of a school in southern Italy today. The local mayor blamed the mafia for the blast.
Two students were killed in the blast.
BBC reported:
A bomb has exploded in front of a school in the southern Italian city of Brindisi killing at least one girl and injuring six others.
The blast went off as students were arriving at the Francesca Morvillo Falcone vocational school at around 07:45 (05:45 GMT).
Although no-one has said they planted the device, the city’s mayor has blamed local mafia.
Police are at the scene investigating the blast scene.
Reports say the explosive device had been placed in a rubbish container outside the school. It is unclear if one or two devices exploded, but one account suggests that the explosives had been in bags.
“Given the effect of the explosion, it appears that this was something quite powerful,” an official from Italy’s Civil Protection Authority said.
Reports that a second student had also died have been denied.
The BBC’s Alan Johnston in Rome says there is currently no concrete information as to who might be behind the attack and what the motive might be.
But the mayor of Brindisi, Mimmo Consales, has blamed the local mafia network for what he calls “an unprecedented attack”.

Killing girls going to school is the MO of Taliban not the Mafia. What a pathetic little man the mayor is finding easy scapegoats phantoms than face the hard truth.
Brae commented:
The mafia is no killing young innocent girls with bombings? Doesn’t make sense. Mafia is after money. Nothing is monetarily gained in this murderous act. I wouldn’t be so quick to look in that direction: but if it is the mafia~kill them all.
Emilie Green commented:
Funny, my default setting is waaaaay different than that of this mayor.
Killing innocents. What springs to my mind INSTANTLY is MUSLIMS, MUSLIMS, MUSLIMS.
bear commented:
If it WAS the mafia, then there must have been a target audience to receive the “message.”
A bomb in a trashcan is way too random, imho, and screams muslim. We shall see.

Brindisi lies on the boot-heel of the eastern Italian coastline across the Adriatic Sea from Albania. Is this one of those seaport cities which is being overrun by disgruntled Muslim hoards seeking asylum and unsatisfied with the ingratious (withholding of jizya – taxpayer benefits) reception thus received due to elevated crime at the hand of unwelcome foreigners? (see Lampedusa)

I know the town and yes it looks like MAFIA. Same story as Mexico and here over drugs, but here it’s called “Cartels”. It’s an act of intimidation to Judges, police, etc. More than likely foreigners who make up the real Mafia in Italy today. Muslims aren’t an issue there. Yes the Mafia kills and they are making a statement to Brindisi (a port town) to leave them alone.
greenfairie commented:
The Mafia of the Gambinos and the Gottis in the United States is in many ways very different from the organized crime groups back in Italy. There the mafia is very violent, a combination of shakedown artists, assassins, and terrorists. No mafioso here would even think of blowing up innocent students at a J. Edgar Hoover High School. This school was blown up to send a message to the locals…tread carefully or else.
Bandy commented:
Why wouldn’t the mafia kill innocent schoolkids? Are they considerate, kind, morally correct people with real values? No, they aren’t! The majority of them go to catholic church every Sunday, confess their sins and get away with them! Some of them even get buried in churches, like De Pedis! That tells the story! It’s a combination of the mafia, the state & the church!!
Io commented:
The school is named after an anti-mafia prosecutor Giovanni Falcone and the anniversary of his death is just in few days. There are not muslims here and Albanians have nothing to do with this kind of crimes. Mafia is not what you guys watch on tv!
Io commented:
…also an anti-Mafia procession was scheduled to pass through Brindisi….not just a coincidence!
Joanne commented:
Who places bombs in front of schools? Hah. That isn’t hard to figure out.

The mafia are a muslim creation.. Italians that revere the mafia are useful idiots for islam

“Mainstream” Islamist Attacks Law
Enforcement and Whitewashes Jihadists
[Marayati was incensed over reports that the FBI and one U.S. Attorney’s office had used training materials “revealing a deep anti-Muslim sentiment within the U.S. government.” One example was a 2010 presentation by an analyst working for a U.S. Attorney in Pennsylvania which warned of a civilizational jihad that is “waged today in the U.S. by ‘civilians, juries, lawyers, media, and charities’” who “threaten our values.”
[..]
Non-Islamist Muslims like Zuhdi Jasser, founder and president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy are a top target of MPAC attacks.
A first-generation American Muslim whose parents fled Syria’s Ba’athist dictatorship in the 1960s, Jasser served 11 years as a U.S. Navy medical officer. He believes that the jihadist terror threat cannot be addressed without addressing the role of “political Islam” as practiced by groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Jasser has called on Muslims to oppose people like Muslim Brotherhood-linked cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who has said it is permissible to kill apostates, and Jamal Badawi of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), who has said apostates should be “punished.” According to Jasser, the jihadists won’t be defeated until Muslims start to realize that they are on a “slippery slope” toward radicalism.
[..]
In 2001, MPAC blasted the Treasury Department for designating the HLF for its Hamas fundraising activities. It accused Washington of “taking food out of the mouths of Palestinian orphans” and “succumbing to politically-motivated smear campaigns by those who would perpetuate Israel’s brutal occupation.”
At a MPAC’s December 2010 annual conference, senior MPAC official Maher Hathout portrayed critics of radical Islam as “Muslim bashers.” Ignoring a slew of homegrown terror plots targeting the United States that year, Hathout tried to whitewash the connection between jihad and violence – even though terrorists themselves invoke Islam to justify their violent jihad.]
