SNIPPET: "(ANSA) - Genoa, June 11 - Six Italians were arrested Thursday on suspicion of plotting to attack Group of Eight summit facilities.
The Rome-based group was trying to revive the Red Brigades terrorist organisation that plagued Italy in the 1970s and '80s, officials said."
SNIPPET: "The six, including two men from Genoa, one from Milan, a Sardinian pro-independence militant and an old-guard Red Brigades terrorist, have been taken into custody on terrorism charges.
Five have been taken to prison and one, reportedly found with a bomb, was placed under house arrest because of his age.
The arrests were the result of a two-year probe using wiretaps and other surveillance techniques, police said.
As well as the G8 plot, the six were planning a string of other attacks, police said."
