OSAMA PLOT TO KILL BUSH New York Daily News; New York, N.Y.; Jun 21, 2001; Corky Siemaszko;

Terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden is plotting to kill President Bush in Italy next month, a Russian secret service chief warned yesterday.
"We view the threats as totally serious," Yevgeny Murov, head of his country's Federal Bodyguard Service, told the Itar-Tass news service.
Murov, Russian President Vladimir Putin's chief bodyguard, did not elaborate on Bin Laden's threat.
But organizers of the Group of Eight summit in Genoa, which is scheduled for July 20 to 22, have said they might move the meeting to a military base or to a cruise liner offshore.
Bin Laden, who is hiding out in Afghanistan, is wanted in the bloody bomb attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, in the suicide bombing of the destroyer Cole and for his role in the World Trade Center bombing.
