(National-UAE) Police in Italy have arrested a suspected terrorist who has been on the run since escaping from a psychiatric facility in France.
He has been under investigation in France for allegedly condoning the actions of ISIS fanatic Mohamed Merah, who killed seven people, including three children, in a series of shootings in Toulouse and Montauban in 2012.
The man, who has not been named, escaped from an institution in Bassens on May 29 and is believed to have entered Italy a few days later.
Armed police raided an apartment in Terracina, in the province of Latina, and arrested him.
The man is being investigated for condoning terrorism and aggravated threats.
