(Reuters) A 24-year-old Italian suspected of fighting in the Middle East since 2014 with al Qaeda-affiliated groups was arrested in Turkey and jailed in Italy, police said on Wednesday.
The unnamed man, who had lived with his wife and their four children near the Syrian city of Idlib, agreed to hand himself over after being tracked down on accusations of terrorist activity in Syria and Iraq, police told a news conference.
“We managed to find him and bring him back to Italy … we were also able to get his wife and children out of a crisis area,” said Italy’s anti-terrorism agency chief Diego Parente.
