Rome asks Pakistan to add 16 Italians to Al-Qaeda list

IRNA

Islamabad, Oct 24, IRNA - Italy has asked Pakistan to add 16 Italian 
nationals to a United Nations consolidated list of Al-Qaeda and 
Taliban suspects for their arrest. 
"Daily Times" said in its Friday issue that the Rome`s request 
said that the 16 persons got terrorism training in Pakistan. 
Pakistan had received the list and an intelligence agency 
apprehended that these men might be in Afghanistan, according to the 
daily. 
"We will arrest and hand over to the US if they cross into 
Pakistan," the daily quoted a senior Pakistani government official as 
saying. 
Brushing aside Italy`s observation that they were trained in 
Pakistan, the newspaper said that the suspects might be of Tunisian 
origin. 
Italy was asked to provide evidence that the said men were in 
Pakistan.
