Rome, (IINA) - Ten people, including Italians, Albanians and a Canadian suspected of supporting ISIS group were arrested Wednesday in an operation in Italy and Albania, Reuters reported citing Italian police.
The 10 were detained in three Italian cities and an unnamed location in Albania, a statement said, adding that some were suspected of helping Italian extremists reaching Syria to fight for the group.
They included four Italians, five Albanians and one Canadian.
They were suspected of violating Italian anti-terrorism laws, including one that prohibits organizing trips to support foreign terrorist groups.
The investigation began after police discovered that an Italian woman left for Syria with her husband to join ISIS group.
Searches and arrests were carried out in the northern cities of Milan and Bergamo and in the Tuscan city of Grosseto, where those detained included a family of Albanian nationals.
The role of the Canadian citizen was not clear in the statement. Police were holding a news conference later on Wednesday to disclose details.
In a separate operation in Rome, police said they had arrested two people from North Africa suspected of running an extremist website that incited readers to plan attacks in Italy and the Maghreb countries of North Africa.
