Six arrested in suspected plot to attack G8

Six people have been arrested on suspicion of planning an attack on the Group of Eight summit next month in Italy, police said Thursday.

The six were arrested Wednesday and Thursday, one month ahead of the July 8-10 summit of leading industrialised nations, anti-terrorist police chief Lamberto Giannini told a news conference.

The probe began two years ago when the summit was set to be held at the Sardinian island of La Maddalena, he said.

Whoa!

They've been investigating for two years? That's a long investigation...

I wonder what proof they had to be able to take these people to jail?

They need none, only someone saying that they were going to do something bad.
