BRESCIA, Italy, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Two Pakstani men suspected of helping terrorists carry out last year's attacks in Mumbai were arrested in Saturday Italy, authorities said.
Italy's Division of General Investigations and Special Operations said the men are charged with transferring money the day before the Nov. 26, 2008, attacks to activate Internet phone lines used by the Mumbai terrorists, CNN reported.
The U.S. broadcaster quoted the Italian agency's head, Stefano Fonzi, as saying the Pakistanis were arrested in the northern city of Brescia after a tip from Indian authorities and the FBI. Fonzi also indicated two people connected with a local money transfer agency were also arrested and fifth man was still wanted.
The transfer agency reportedly drew authorities' attention after money was wired under the name of man who had never been in Italy.
The Mumbai terrorist attacks killed 160 people over a four-day siege targeting several sites in the Indian financial capital.
