(ANSA) - ROME, 21 OTT - An Italian father and son ding humanitarian work in the West Bank have been arrested on terrorist charges and are to be deported from Israel, a northern Italian new site reported Wednesday. The two men from Bolzano—Manuel Tartarotti, 35, and his father, Alberto, 67—who were in the West Bank for humanitarian reasons, were held by Israeli police for over 24 hours on suspicion of terrorism and have since been ordered to leave the country, said the South Tyrolean news portal Salto.bz. "The Israeli police asked for our documents, then they took me and my father, blindfolded us, and loaded us into a military van. "They didn't tell us where they were taking us; I was grabbed and beaten in the back of the vehicle. I didn't know what was going to happen, and I was afraid," Manuel told the website. (ANSA).
