Italian police were carrying out a country-wide anti-terrorism operation
early Wednesday, a day after the government announced a series of measures aimed
at preventing a London-style attack, the ANSA news agency reported.
Hundreds of police and paramilitary Carabinieri officers were searching homes
and buildings in several cities in northern Italy as well as in the southern
port of Naples and on the island of Sicily, the agency said.
The operation was reportedly aimed at verifying the movements of suspected
Islamic radicals, but the agency did not say if any arrests had been made.
Police are expected to provide details of the ongoing operation later
Wednesday.
