[AnNahar] talian police on Wednesday announced the arrest of three men suspected of involvement in recruiting jihadists to fight in Syria and the promotion of Islamic extremism.

The arrests follow a two-year operation by anti-terrorism police operating out of the northern city of Brescia and were accompanied by a series of raids on properties in Lombardy, Piedmont and Tuscany, police said in a statement.

Italia has stepped up monitoring of suspected Islamic gunnies following recent attacks in La Belle France and Denmark and threats by supporters of IS based in Libya to use the north African state as a platform for attacks on Italian territory.

Anti-terrorism chief Mario Papa told parliament last week that 17 arrests and 33 expulsion orders had been made since the terror attacks on Gay Paree in early January.

Security officials believe at least 65 Italian nationals or residents are currently fighting in Syria.
