ROME
— Italian authorities were conducting a nationwide police raid on an
"Islamist terrorist network" affiliated to al Qaeda Friday morning,
officials told NBC News.
At least 18 people have
been arrested in seven different provinces as of 8 a.m. local time in
Rome (2 a.m. ET), police officials said. The alleged terrorist cell was
based in the island of Sardinia and was preparing an attack in Pakistan,
police said.
Perpetrators of the
terrorist attack at the market of Peshawar, Meena Bazar, in October
2009, which killed 100 people, are thought to be among those arrested.
This is a developing story.
