| 2006-04-20 |
| Italian police on Wednesday were carrying out the arrests of Algerian citizens in an anti-terror operation co-ordinated with French police, an Italian news agency said. The ANSA news agency did not say how many people were being targeted in the crackdown, which was taking place in Naples, southern Italy. It said the suspects were believed to have links to the Salafist Group for Call and Combat, or GSPC, an Algerian group said to have links to al-Qaeda. The suspects allegedly provided fake documents and aided illegal immigration. The report could not be immediately confirmed with Naples police. |
