Got this from my local newspaper:

God! Girlie Ganagters!
The headline news was sadly familiar for most Italians... a high speed acr chase in southern italy ends in a deadly shootout between rival Mafia families.

But these were not the usual suspects.

The gun toting clan leaders wre e50-somehting italian mommas and teenage girls.

The protagonists in the bloodbath were the wives and granddaughters of Camorra gangster families, the Mafia organisation that operates inand around the southern Italian city of Naples.

The battle of the sexes has taken on a new meaning in Naples with the Madrina - or Godmother- muscling in on the territory of the traditional Godfather.

"Yesterdays incident shows that not only the bosses' and their 'soldiers' have the duty to eliminate members of rival families; now the women , the bosses' wives and even the daughters participate" Corriere Della Sera newspaper wrote



...looks like Snow's started a trend....
