Italy, Germany Arrest Suspected Terrorists VOA News 28 Nov 2003, 21:18 UTC Police in Italy and Germany have arrested at least four people suspected of recruiting Islamic militants to carry out suicide attacks against coalition forces in Iraq. German officials say one suspect was taken into custody Friday in the northern city of Hamburg on an Italian arrest warrant. The suspect is identified as Mahjub Abderrazak of Algeria. He was arrested in Hamburg in July on suspicion of planning a bombing in Spain, but later was released for lack of evidence. Italian officials say two other North Africans and at least one other person were arrested in the northern city of Milan. Reports say all four suspects have alleged links to the al-Qaida terrorist network. They are expected to be charged with international terrorism. Meanwhile, British authorities have raided three houses in southwest England following Thursday's arrest of a terrorism suspect in the town of Gloucester. Police continue to question a 24-year-old man after removing a small amount of explosives from his home. News reports identify the suspect as Sajit Badat, a British man of South Asian extraction. British Home Secretary David Blunkett said the man posed a "very real threat" to Britain. News media reports in London say investigators are looking into whether the suspect is connected to shoe bomber Richard Reid, who tried to blow up a U.S.-bound airliner with explosives hidden in his shoes in late 2001. In a separate investigation, British police arrested a 39-year-old man in Manchester on suspicion of terrorist activity. Some information for this report provided by AP and AFP. voanews.com
