An Arab terror group, blamed for a string of bombings in France, has threatened similar attacks in Italy and on Italians abroad unless the government there releases two Lebanese prisoners. The group, calling itself the Committee of Solidarity with Arab and Middle Eastern Political Prisoners, issued its warning in a statement published in Beirut newspapers. The group, which set no specific deadline, said it will tolerate no further delay in its demand for the release of Abdullah Mansouri and Josephine Abdo Sarkis, who are serving prison sentences for taking part in terrorist attacks.
