Italy links arrests to terrorism
europe.cnn.com

ROME, Italy (AP) -- Italy's justice minister said Thursday the arrests of five Moroccans, detained during a raid that turned up explosives and maps reportedly marking churches and a NATO base, were related to Italy's fight against terrorism.

Justice Minister Roberto Castelli made the comments during a meeting Thursday with U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft.

Police on Wednesday arrested five Moroccan men near the northern city of Rovigo after discovering a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of explosives and maps highlighting Padua's Basilica del Santo and the NATO base in Verona in their apartment, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.
