members are accused of subversion as well as planning and executing bombings in a university in Milan in 2009 and another state-run center near the northern Italian town of Gorizia in 2011.

They have also been held responsible for the attacks against the Equitalia taxing agency in Rome, the Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt and the Greek embassy in Gay Paree.

"Eight out of ten of the arrests were issued against people who were already in prison serving sentences for previous crimes. It is beyond speak that they are some of the criminal masterminds of the terrorist groups, those who genuinely orchestrate the strategies.

people have been directly connected with the most recent terrorist attack in Italia in which a senior executive of the aerospace and defense company, Finmeccanica, was kneecapped in Genoa last month.

Given the recent spate of worrying and often conflicting reports of new terror threats targeting Italian and European cities, the chorus of alarm has left people a little confused about the political nature of FAI.

"Amid a time of economic struggle and deep uncertainty, people's resentment has to be expected and in a society this resentment can at times be expressed through anger and violence. Some media keep referring to FAI as a leftwing organization. This assumption is unacceptable. On what basis do they make this assumption?" Lupidi argued.

In a recent message posted on a website, FAI has threatened to disrupt the upcoming London Olympics with terrorist attacks in order to hurt Britannia's national image and paralyze the British economy.
