I heard this from a friend who says he found it on the msnbc website. I tried to find it but I haven’t been able to come up with anything, so naturally I turn to you people. Has anyone heard that Italy said it would rebuild the World Trade Center for the United States? Is this true, or an urban legend?
If anyone has any links to this story I would greatly appreciate it.
Rebuild for the United States? Absurd. They didn’t own the lease on the property. Why would they give away billions of dollars when insurance will cover the losses? In fact, Italy is already softening on the issue of terrorism. Italian defence minister rules out Italian troop role. What you need from your friend is some affirmative evidence. Until he/she can provide it, that assertion is merely a rumor. An official from the Italian government may have some said like “The WTC should be rebuilt”. That’s certainly plausible. However, after searching MSNBC’s own website, I could find no article on the subject.
