Eurabian Terror Cell Busted!

TERRORISM: RECRUITMENT OF SUICIDE BOMBERS, 20 ARRESTS

(the English translation is a little rough but you get their drift. This terror cell is going down!)

There were activities for terrorism conducted outside mosques and private apartments in Milan and Reggio Emilia where, according to investigators, the network of the radical Islamic cell identified by the Milan prosecutor's office spread by recruiting individuals willing to be involved in terrorist and suicide attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq.

This is the overview of the about 500-page order with which Milan investigative judge Luisa Savoia issued twenty arrest warrants for Tunisian or Algerian nationals.

At the moment still being sought are three alleged participants in the organization who are abroad and have not yet been arrested.

Among the other members of the alleged criminal association for acts of terrorism, two are in England, two in France and one in Portugal.

The leaders of the terrorist cell are reportedly Dridi Sabri (in Milan), Medi Ben Nasr (in Reggio Emilia) and Imed Ben Zarkaouwi (already on trial in the Lombardy capital where this morning his appeal trial has begun). The twenty North Africans allegedly have been recruiting individuals since 2003 willing to carry out acts of terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq.
