Berlusconi attacked

No terrorist cell, nor the Sicillian Mafia, has claimed to have sent him, and his fate (so far) is quite different from that of an Iraqi scribe who hurled two size elevens at Bush and suffered fractures from “advanced questioning” in police custody.

His weapon of choice was a miniature statuette, and in his handwritten apology, described the attack on Silvio as “cowardly”.
