Italian police arrested two Afghan citizens in a terrorism and human-trafficking investigation launched after photos of potential targets in three countries were discovered on suspects' cell phones, ABC quoted prosecutors in the southern city of Bari as saying.

Arrest warrants were issued for three other suspects.

Hakim Nasiri, 23, was arrested in a home for asylum seekers in Bari and was being held on suspicion of subversive association with the goal of international terrorism, while Gulistan Ahmadzai, 29, was arrested in the southern city of Foggia, where he had been granted international protection status, on suspicion of aiding illegal immigration.
