Italian Police Arrest Terror Suspects

Italian police arrested two Afghan men whom they suspect were plotting jihadist attacks on a number of European targets in Italy, France and England.

The Italian media has reported that the authorities are still looking for another three Afghans, two of whom they suspect may have gone back to Afghanistan.
Police became suspicious when one of the men was seen using his smartphone to photograph the Ipercoop mall in Bari, Italy.

A number of suspicious video clips and photos on the men's' phones suggest that were surveying potential target sites in Bari, Rome, Paris and London.

The suspects were named as Hakim Nasiri, 23, and Gulistan Ahmadzai, 29.

Police released several photos of Nasiri posing with a rifle. They believe that these Afghans are part of a terror cell connected with ISIS. Police have also said that included among the video clips were tributes to friends and relatives of suspected Islamists held by the United States in Guantanamo Cuba.

The suspects have been living in Italy under humanitarian protection status.
