MILAN, Italy (AP):
Serie A leader Inter Milan has become the second Italian soccer team in two days to receive a threatening letter with bullets inside the envelope. The unsigned letter, which arrived yesterday, told Inter's chairman Massimo Moratti to be "very, very careful", the ANSA news agency reported.
The letter also insulted and threatened Inter coach Roberto Mancini and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is tied for the league lead with 13 goals.
A similar, unsigned letter arrived at the offices of AC Milan on Thursday in an envelope that contained a bullet.
The letter threatened Milan President Silvio Berlusconi - the former Italian premier who is also the head of Italy's center-right opposition - as well as club vice-president Adriano Galliani and coach Carlo Ancelotti.
