This is sad news and historical irony. Asa Briggs writes in his famous BBC history that Italy was the first country to start radio jamming. This happened in 1936 when Italy occupied Ethiopia. Ethiopian radio began to broadcast messages to get help when Italian forces started their invasion. These broadcasts were jammed by the Italians.
