Italy terror suspects 'planned Vatican attack’

Islamic extremists suspected over a bomb attack in a Pakistani market that killed more than 100 people had also planned an attack against the Vatican in 2010, Italian prosecutors said.

Italy: Police launch terror raids against al Qaida-linked group

Italian police have mounted a “vast anti-terrorist” operation against a group reportedly inspired by al Qaida.

Reuters report that the organisation wanted to support attacks against Pakistan’s government and US forces in Afghanistan.

A police official said that most of the 18 arrests were centered on the island of Sardinia, but the operation covered seven Italian provinces.

Some arrests have been made, but the operation is still “ongoing”, the official said.
