Police arrested five people believed to have connections to the Tunisian Isis militant who killed 12 people at a Berlin Christmas market in 2016, in a series of raids across central and southern Italy on Thursday.

Warrants were issued for one Palestinian national, who is accused of training and other activities for the purpose of international terrorism, and four Tunisians suspected of falsifying documents and facilitating illegal immigration.

They were named as Abdel Salem Napulsi, a 38-year-old Palestinian who was already being held at a Rome prison on separate drug charges, and Tunisian nationals Akram Baazaoui, Mohamed Baazoui, Dhiaddine Baazaoui and Rabie Baazoui, living in the southern cities of Naples and Caserta.

Searches were also carried out in the provinces of Latina, Matera and Viterbo.
