Police in Italy Arrest 18 Terrorists in "Vast" Sting; Group Driven by Al Qaeda Planned Vatican Attack

Italian police arrested 18 people yesterday in what they called a "vast" operation against a group allegedly inspired by the Al Qaeda, and foiled an attack on the Vatican, the Big News Network website reports today (April 25, 2015).

All those arrested were Pakistanis and Afghans, police said.

Those arrested were plotting an attack against the Vatican, police said, citing wiretap evidence.

The terrorist group was based on the Italian island of Sardinia and was also plotting attacks against the Pakistan government and U.S. forces in Afghanistan, according to police. Most of the arrests were made in Sardinia, but the operation covered seven Italian provinces, according to police.
