Italian authorities have made arrests in several cities of members of the Algerian Islamic terror gang known as the “Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat:” Terrorist cell arrests in Italy.

ROME, Italy (CNN) — In a series of morning raids, Italian military police arrested five Algerians for their alleged affiliation with a terrorist group, authorities said Friday.

According to the Italian Carabinieri, investigators discovered a cell linked to an Algerian militant organization known as the “Salafist Group for Call and Combat (GSPC),” whose logistical base was in Vicenza, but also had operations in Brescia, Naples and Salerno.

According to authorities, the group is part of a “global jihad” recruitment program that is also involved in the production of counterfeit documents, including false IDs, living permits and work contracts to be used by illegal immigrants.

The arrests were made in the cities of Vicenza, Brescia and Reggio Emilia and follow the midweek arrests of three men with alleged ties to the same militant organization.
