Italian police have arrested 40 people in a security swoop targeting Islamic groups following a foiled plot in Britain to blow up trans-atlantic airliners, the Interior Ministry said on Friday.
The ministry said in a statement the arrests were carried out throughout Italy “during a special operation that follows the British anti-terrorism operation yesterday”.
A ministry source said those arrested were linked to Islamic groups, adding that none had been detained on terrorism-related charges.
