'Suicide attack' plot against PM: Berlusconi

[cal04]

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has claimed he was the subject of a planned suicide terrorist attack. "I am the object of a direct threat," Berlusconi said in an interview with Italian daily Libero. "A suicide bomber in the stadium against me." Berlusconi did not give details of a possible attack, and his office in Rome declined to comment on the premier's comments.

He made the comments while explaining his position on Iraq - repeating recent statements he was against the war and only sent troops to help the rebuilding effort. Berlusconi owns Serie A soccer team AC Milan, and frequently watches games at Milan's San Siro stadium, including a match last Saturday.

The ANSA news agency reported that Milan prosecutors were unaware of any such threat.
