The men, who are from Tunisia and Pakistan, were arrested in Brescia in the northern region of Lombardy, on suspicion of association with terrorists and subversion. Police say the two are believed to be behind a Twitter account spreading threatening messages about planned attacks on famous Italian sites like the Roman Colosseum and the Milan cathedral.
The same day, police in Spain arrested a man suspected of recruiting women to go to areas controlled by the IS in Syria. An Interior Ministry statement said the 29-year-old Spaniard was arrested Wednesday in Melilla, one of two Spanish enclave cities in northwest Africa.
