Two weeks ago, Italian daily Il Secolo XIX said that Italian police obtained, after intercepting a telephone conversation between two terrorism suspects, indications on the existence of al-Qaeda training camps in Romania, from where terrorists might easily reach Western Europe.

It said investigators intercepted a conversation between two terrorism suspects – Tunisians Jameleddine Ben Mohamed Ben Moussa and Bechir Kaouana – who mention the existence of " al-Qaeda training camps in Romania," where jihad warrior wannabes learn how to build and use explosive devices.

Romanian authorities denied all allegations.
