People being investigated in a counter-terrorism investigation in Italy may have been planning an attack against the Vatican, one of the prosecutors leading the probe said.

Cagliari Chief Prosecutor Mauro Mura told reporters that as well as planning to launch attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan, as earlier reported, the suspects may also have been aiming to target the Vatican. 

Police conducted raids across Italy, targeting 18 people suspected of links with Al Qaeda. Some were arrested, including the group's suspected spiritual leader, but others were believed to have left the country.
