Italian police have arrested two Afghans from a suspected ISIS cell who were thought to be planning terror attacks in London on Canary Wharf and the capital's hotels. Officers in the southern city of Bari confirmed that 23-year-old Hakim Nasri was being held on suspicion of international terrorism, while Gulistan Ahmadzai, 29, was arrested on suspicion of aiding illegal immigration.
