5 Tunisians Indicted for Alleged Al Qaeda Ties
From Times Wire Reports
An Italian judge indicted five Tunisians for alleged links to Al Qaeda.
The defendants had been arrested in October, and a search of the men’s apartments in Milan turned up camouflage uniforms and forged documents.
The ANSA news agency said prosecutors accused the suspects of having formed a terrorist cell for attacks inside and outside Italy. The five were charged with “subversive association aimed at international terrorism,” a charge introduced shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks.
