converting from Islam to Christianity is in Italy. Italy's Premier Silvio Berlusconi says Abdul Rahman is in the care of the country's Interior Ministry.
The premier says he thinks Rahman arrived in Italy overnight,
but wouldn't give any more details.Italy granted Rahman asylum after his jailing inspired an appeal from Pope Benedict to Afghanistan's president, and efforts by the United Nations to find a country to take him.
