Five Nabbed in Italy Anti-Terror Raid

From Fox News

ROME — In pre-dawn raids in three Tuscan cities, antiterrorism police arrested the Algerian imam of a Florence mosque and four Tunisians Sunday in a crackdown on an Islamic extremist cell that was about to send potential suicide attackers to Iraq (search), Genoa's police chief said.

[...]

The suspects belonged to a cell of Ansar al-Islam (search), an organization based in northern Iraq with links to the Al Qaeda (search) terrorist network, the police chief said. The five were being investigated for suspected subversive association, he said.

Fiorolli said the imam, Maamari Rashid, had come to Italy to replace a Moroccan imam, Mohamed Rafik, arrested last year in Italy and wanted by Morocco for alleged involvement in the 2003 terrorist bombings in Casablanca.

So, these so called "sacred" and "holy" mosques are used for recuritment, planning, attacking and stowing weapons. It is high time the west stopped playing games with Islam. If they continue in this manner I say the mosques are fair game in the war on terror.
