Four terror arrests in Bari and Cuneo

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 14 - Italian police on Monday arrested four Albanian men who have lived in Italy for many years on suspicion of plotting ISIS-inspired terror attacks in Italy.
    The arrests were made in the southern city of Bari in Puglia and the northern city of Cuneo in Piedmont.
    Police said wiretaps had found the four voicing hatred for the west in conversations about Ukraine, which they said was a target of Western gas ambitions, and COVID-19, which they said was a "minuscule soldier of Allah, sent to Earth to punish the unbelief of the westerners".
    One of the four, 33-year-old Elsio Ramku, is a municipal employee at the technical office in Bari.
    Police said the four exchanged videos and documents of ISIS/Daesh on Telegram, calling for holy war.
    The four also funded a jihadi imam in Albania, police said.
