Italian police arrest 5 North Africans on suspicion of planning attacks
Police broke up a suspected terror cell Saturday and arrested five North
Africans, including the alleged leader who Italian officials said
recruited Islamic extremists for attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Authorities also suspect the cell sent tens of thousands of dollars to
groups in Bosnia that offer training and logistical support to Iraqi and
Afghan terror organizations, said Claudio Galzerano, head of the Italian
police force's international terrorism division.
Police arrested the five suspects - four Tunisians and one Moroccan - in
Bologna and the nearby towns of Faenza and Imola, Galzerano said. They
were accused of international terrorism, but have yet to be formally
charged, he said. A sixth suspect was still being sought.
Galzerano said those arrested include alleged Tunisian ringleader Khalil
Jarraya, a veteran of Bosnia's 1992-95 war, and four others he allegedly
recruited for suicide attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Galzerano said Jarraya, who also has received Bosnian citizenship, may
have recruited others already sent abroad.
The arrests followed a three-year investigation based on wiretaps and on
training material found in previous searches of the suspects' homes.
