| Three Tunisians suspected of being members of al-Qaida were indicted in Italy on charges they sought to obtain and transport arms, explosives and chemicals. The men -- Riadh Jelassi, Mehdi Kammoun and Adel Ben Soltane -- were part of a group arrested earlier this year in a series of crackdowns on Islamic terrorists. Another four men, arrested as part of the same probe, are seeking a fast-track trial that would allow for a reduced sentence. Among the four is Essid Sami Ben Khemais, the alleged head of bin Laden's European logistics. Spanish police are investigating whether Khemais, who was arrested in April in Italy, met with Sept. 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta earlier this year in Spain. |
