A 58-year-old Italian citizen of
Egyptian origin was arrested in the southern city of Foggia on
Tuesday on suspicion of being a member of ISIS, sources said.
The suspect, who is married to an Italian woman, was
implicated by online publications and evidence gathered by
antiterrorism investigators, the sources said.
The "Al Dawa" Islamic centre in Foggia, which the suspect was
president of, was searched as part of Tuesday's operation.
The bank accounts of the man, who gave religion lessons to
children at the centre, were seized.
