Italian Terrorist Suspects Arrested

From The Australian :

Italian police said they arrested six alleged Red Brigades terrorists today suspected of killing a Labour Ministry consultant in 1999 - the first attack by the left-wing terrorist group in more than a decade.

Police officials in Rome confirmed the arrests bur refused to provide details.

The ANSA news agency and other reports said three of the arrests were carried out in Rome, two in Florence and one in Sardinia. The six suspects included two women, ANSA said.

The government adviser, Massimo D'Antona, was shot dead outside his house in Rome in 1999.
