Suspected Mafia mobsters accused of plot to blow up judge

Police in Sicily have arrested two suspected mobsters accused of plotting to murder a judge with a car bomb in an attack like the one that killed one of Italy’s most famous anti-Mafia prosecutors in 1992.

Renato Di Natale, a prosecutor in the town of Caltanissetta where the bombing was allegedly planned, today confirmed the arrests for a plan to blow up a judge with a large quantity of explosives on a road outside the central Sicilian town.
