A 43-year-old convert to Islam was arrested in the province of Palermo overnight as part of an anti-terror operation, ANSA sources said Wednesday. War munitions and warfare training manuals were found in the arrested person's home. Police searched some 40 premises as part of the operation. Italy is on a high state of alert and the authorities have beefed up anti-terror measures after this month's attacks by Islamist terrorists in France.
