MUSLIMS PRAY DURING FRIDAY PRAYERS OUTSIDE MILAN'S MOSQUE, 2001-10-19 (photo)

Muslims pray during Friday prayers outside Milan's mosque October 19, 2001. Italy's Muslim community is in the spotlight following U.S. allegations the country is the European headquarters of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, but security analysts say it is extremely unlikely Italy is a main base. A report from the U.S. Treasury department last week accused Milan's Islamic cultural institute of being al-Qaeda's main European logistics base and Italy's Secret Services minister said there were five key al-Qaeda centres in the country.
