Police arrest members of leftist group
Police conducted raids across northern Italy, breaking up a Red Brigades-style terrorist group that was planning kidnappings or kneecappings of victims, Milan prosecutors said.
Police said they arrested 15 suspects in Milan, Turin, Padua and other Italian cities Feb. 12.
"We prevented dangerous people who considered themselves in war with this state from carrying out violent actions," Prosecutor Ilda Boccassini told a news conference in Milan.
