From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Police in Italy and France today arrested eight Algerians and two Italians as part of an anti-terror operation, police in the southern Italian city of Naples said.
Those arrested in Italy were picked up in Naples and the nearby city of Caserta, and in Milan, police said. No details were provided on the arrests made in France, although the ANSA news agency said they occurred in Marseille.
The suspects were believed to have links to the Salafist Group for Call and Combat, or GSPC, an Algerian group said to have links to al-Qa'ida. They allegedly provided fake documents.
Police in Naples declined to give details pending a press conference in the city later in the day.
ANSA said the arrests were the result of a year-long investigation conducted by the police forces of the two countries.
