Britain extradites three Tunisian terror suspects to Italy


Three Tunisian men accused of terrorism links by Italian prosecutors arrived in Milan under heavy security after being extradited from Britain, Italian police said.

Habib Ignaoua, Mohamed Khemiri and Ali Chehidi, who arrived in Milan on Saturday, were arrested in the London and Manchester areas last year as part of coordinated raids across Europe against an alleged Italian-based network recruiting fighters for Iraq and Afghanistan.
