The imam of Sellia Marina, a small Ionian coast town between Catanzaro and Crotone, was nabbed at his home with his son. The third arrestee is part of the Moroccan community of Lamezia Terme near the Tyrrhenian coast of southern Calabria, police said. Police say the three used the Internet to get and send "multimedia documents about arms and explosives training" as well as software that "could be used to sabotage computer systems". The homes of a further nine individuals were searched. The sweep came at the end of a "complex" probe carried out by Digos security police and Italy's postal police, judicial sources said. A fourth man was nabbed for drugs possession after some marijuana and a scale were found in his house. |
