Italy mulls extradition request from Israel for Palestinian arrested on suspicion of terror

Italian police say that one of the three Palestinian men they arrested on suspicion of terror is wanted by Israel, and an Italian court is examining an extradition request for him.

Police say the three men living in l’Aquila, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) northeast of Rome, had set up a cell linked to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a Palestinian terror group.

In a separate statement, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi hails the arrest of “three dangerous terrorists” and says Italy is always on high alert against extremism and radicalization.
