Italian fascists found with ‘combat ready’ war weapons
Police in northern Italy have detained three men, including one tied to a neo-fascist Italian political party, after uncovering a huge stash of automatic weapons, a missile and nazi propaganda

FAR-RIGHT activists were arrested today after “combat ready” war weapons were seized during a counter-terrorism operation in Italy. 

Along with nazi material, a Qatari air-to-air missile, nine assault rifles, one machine gun and seven pistols were among the firearms seized in the operation in Turin after a one-year investigation.

Two Italians aged 50 and 51 and a 42-year-old Swiss national were charged with illegal possession of war weapons.
