Al Qaeda Cell in Italy Planned Church Attack-Paper

This group was apparently a sort of North African terror multinational, with operatives from Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria, linked to a Libyan. Their reason for the planned attack? Art criticism:

The Milan-based cell, which included members of Algeria's radical Salafist Group of Preaching and Combat, allegedly planned an attack on the basilica of San Petronio in Bologna, northern Italy, because it contains a fresco depicting Mohammad in hell.
