Six people have been arrested in the northern Italian region of Lombardy on suspicion of being affiliated with international terrorist organizations, local media said on Thursday.
Italian police arrested a married couple who are suspected of intending to depart for the Syrian-Iraqi border, a 23-year-old Moroccan, and three more people who had previously been in touch with a married couple from Italy's Lecco province that left for the Syrian-Iraqi border in February 2015.
The operation, coordinated by the district attorney of Milan in agreement with Italy's national anti-mafia and anti-terrorism prosecutor, was conducted in various locations in Lombardy and Piedmont.
