WAR TIMES

On Tuesday, June 16, in Rome and other cities, new police raids hit the anarchist movement, with seven arrest warrants against as many comrades, 5 preventive detentions in prison and 2 house arrests with electronic bracelets, searches throughout Italy (including La Vampa in Naples), and the eviction of the Bencivenga Occupato social center in Rome. The main charge is the now classic “association for terrorist purposes” (270-bis). In addition, two comrades were arrested for the new crime of “terrorism by words” for possession of some pamphlets found during the searches.

We make known:

Starting at around 5am on June 16, 2026, the Rome prosecutor’s office launched yet another repressive operation involving numerous anarchist comrades in various parts of the country. The alleged crime is conspiracy for terrorist purposes (Article 270 bis). The conspiracy is said to be related to sabotage carried out during the devastation of the Milan and Cortina areas, also known as the Winter Olympics.

Seven people have been arrested in Italy over suspected sabotage attacks on high-speed railway lines during the Winter Olympics earlier this year.

Italian police said on Tuesday that the suspects, believed to belong to an anarchist militant network, were detained on suspicion of terrorism-related offences.

ROME, Feb 9 (Reuters) - An anarchist group claimed responsibility on Monday for sabotaging rail infrastructure in northern Italy on Saturday and disrupting train traffic on the first full day of the Winter Olympic Games.

translator's note: this communique (originally posted at https://de.indymedia.org/node/565575) uses a couple of phrases that need explanation. The first is "Handarbeit" which I have translated as "DIY." In this case, the phrase handarbeit (work done by hand) has a special meaning among autonomists etc, as in the phrase "Antifa Bleibt Handarbeit" -- Antifa remains done by hand-- meaning both that you need to do it yourself, it can't be done FOR you, and also that you must literally use your hands to do it.

on the night of nov 2 the mcnally industries building in grantsburg wi was targeted by anarchists. mcnally mills a lot of shit for department of defense contracts and enables the usa war machine and etc. etc. we hate them. this depressing building scarcely had any windows. the few it did have were tiny but we were able to make our way inside. the inside was likewise depressing. we broke lots of stuff and left a few firebombs with timers made from old coffee makers. the building did look furnished with fire suppressant systems so we dont know how much damage was achieved.

A month ago the machines started attacking the forests. The biggest machine was attacked and eventually died after being stuffed with concrete and drowned with bleach. It stood still for 2 weeks under a ring of old oaks, blocking a road and preventing those trees from being cut. A smaller machine cutting down the smaller trees was also visited. Its air filters were removed and its exhaust was filled with concrete.

Since May some anarchists have been skulking around Minneapolis pulling down Flock cameras. For those who don't know these are the latest in AI enabled license plate reading technology. Anyone from your local racist homeowners association to the world's largest police departments can rent one of these to track any cars they want in real time – unless we destroy it first ;)
