Britain extradites three Tunisian terror suspects to Italy
AFP - 1 hour 43 minutes ago
ROME (AFP) - - Three Tunisian men accused of terrorism links by Italian prosecutors arrived in Milan under heavy security after being extradited from Britain, Italian police said.
Habib Ignaoua, Mohamed Khemiri and Ali Chehidi, who arrived in Milan on Saturday, were arrested in the London and Manchester areas last year as part of coordinated raids across Europe against an alleged Italian-based network recruiting fighters for Iraq and Afghanistan.
European warrants for their arrest had been issued by an investigating magistrate attached to courts in Milan who accused them of plotting to organise the recruitment of volunteers ready to commit acts of terror from Milan.
They are accused of proselytising and politico-religious indoctrination with the aim of committing terrorist acts, conducting illegal immigration and making false documents.
Ignaoua and Khemiri have previously been tried and convicted in their absence in Tunisia of terrorism-related offences.
London's High Court approved the extraditions in July, saying they had failed to prove that they faced a real risk of being deported to Tunisia, where they say they could be tortured.
Lawyers for the trio had argued that Italy would use counter-terrorism legislation to send them back to their home country before they could appeal against their expulsion.
