Berlusconi, chatting with a reporter from Milan's Libero newspaper on Dec. 24, referred to "precise and verified news of an attack on Rome on Christmas Day."

"A hijacked plane into the Vatican," Berlusconi is quoted as saying. "An attack from the sky, is that clear? The threat of terrorism is very high in this instant. I passed Christmas Eve in Rome to deal with the situation. Now I feel calm. It will pass."

-----------------
Berlusconi's office issued its own statement Saturday, saying the premier's remarks did not amount to official declarations. "Premier Silvio Berlusconi gave no interview. One cannot confuse a quick exchange of Christmas greetings with political declarations," it said.
