Rome: Italy's ANSA news agency reports that police in the northern city of Brescia have arrested two Pakistanis accused of logistical support for last year's terror attacks in Mumbai.

ANSA cited police sources as saying the two men arrested Saturday used a money transfer agency they managed to send funds for the attacks. The money was used to pay for an Internet phone account used by people in contact with the attackers.

The agency said the two are accused of aiding and abetting as well as illegal financial activity.
