The Islamic State had claimed responsibility for the March attack on the Bardo Museum in the capital Tunis and the man was arrested at the home where he lives with his mother and brothers in Gaggiano, near Milan.
As per the Tunisian arrest warrant, he has been charged with premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit attacks against the internal security of the state, belonging to a terrorist group and recruiting and training others to commit terrorist attacks.
It seems he had arrived in Porto Empedocle in Sicily on a migrant boat on February 17 but was issued an expulsion order demanding that he leave Italy within 15 days. He disappeared only to surface in Tunisia where he was apparently involved in both the planning and the execution of the attacks on the museum. He was also believed to be recruiting jihadis.
