Italian magistrates have ordered the arrest of two Albanians and an Italian on suspicion of terrorism-related offenses and are searching several addresses in northern Italy, police said on Wednesday.

 

The two Albanians, a man living in Albania and his nephew in the region around Turin, are suspected of recruiting people for terrorism, while the third man, an 20-year-old Italian of Moroccan origin, is suspected of encouraging terrorism over the Internet, a police statement said. The searches in Lombardy, Piemonte and Tuscany were focused on suspected sympathisers of Islamist militant groups and police and anti-terrorism officers were also working in the region around Tirana in Albania, it added.
