2012-03-15 | |
A Moroccan national was arrested in northern Italy on Thursday on suspicion he was planning an attack on Milan's synagogue. The 20-year-old suspect identified as JM was arrested in the city of Brescia after investigators identified him as a possible terrorist after monitoring web sites offering forums and documents on how to conduct jihad.
Investigators said they had intercepted messages in which the man discussed a "jihad mission.'' Documents on his computer included information on police surveillance of Milan's synagogue. Italian police are coordinating their investigation with London police who have arrested a woman who was in contact with the suspect, police said. | |
