2 arrested in Italy on suicide charges

Italian prosecutors say two suspects have been arrested who claimed allegiance to the so-called Islamic State group had among their targets an Italian military base near the northern city of Brescia that has a U.S. military presence, according to Fox News.

Prosecutor Maurizio Romanelli told a press conference the two suspects did not have the capabilities to carry out an attack against the Ghedi air base or any other of the targets they had identified with a Twitter account, including Milan's Duomo or Rome's Colosseum.

Officials said the two men, a Tunisian and a Pakistani, were making plans to travel to Daesh territory for military training while at the same time gathering information from the Internet on how to participate in a holy war.

Prosecutors said the two also were planning an attack against a food packaging company where one of the men worked.

The suspects were arrested in Brescia on suspicion of terror association and subversion and searches were being carried out throughout the Lombardy region. Both were long-time residents in Italy with families.
