Italy police hold 10 'Islamists' 

Italian police have arrested at least 10 suspected Islamist militants who
are believed to be linked to the bombings that rocked Algiers in April. 

The suspects, held in Milan, allegedly provided logistical and financial
support for the militants in Algeria. 

Two blasts killed at least 30 people and injured 160 in Algiers. 

A group called the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat said it carried
out the attacks. It later changed its name to al-Qaeda in the Maghreb. 

Police said the suspects were also believed to be linked to Islamist
activities in Tunisia in January. 

The Milan suspects are reported to be Tunisians. 

One of those targeted by police was named as Essid Sami Ben Khemais. He was
about to leave jail after serving a sentence of six years and two months,
but now a new detention warrant has been served for him, the Italian news
website Il Giornale says. 

The police raids followed a tip-off from Tlili Lazar, an Islamist extradited
from France in November 2006, who is now co-operating with police, Il
Giornale says.
