http://www.adnkronos.com/AKI/English/Security/?id=1.0.1519293384 Rome, 6 Nov. (AKI) - Police have arrested at least 20 people allegedly linked to Islamic Salafite cells in a massive anti-terror campaign across Italy.
Following an order issued by a Milan court on Tuesday, police conducted raids in several northern cities and arrested several foreign nationals suspected of preparing suicide attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq. Italian news agency Adnkronos said police found al-Qaeda instruction manuals for explosives production, long-distance triggering devices and manuals for guerilla techniques. Police conducted dawn raids in several cities in northern Italy including Milan, Bergamo and Reggio Emilia. The agency said warrants had been issued for about 20 people but it was not clear exactly how many had been arrested. Investigations were continuing in Italy and other European countries where the alleged terrorists were believed to have links. According to the Italian Carabinieri special operations group, the suspects are also alleged to have falsified identity documents, and promoted illegal immigration and supported the illegal movement of terrorism suspects. In July Italian police uncovered an alleged bomb school for Islamic militants after raiding a mosque in the central Italian town of Perugia. Explosives manuals and poisons were also found in the raid. Police said the suspected cell had links with al-Qaeda and they arrested the imam and two other men, all Moroccans.
