(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 18 - Italian State police said Wednesday that they have arrested a 38-year-old Iranian man wanted in the United States for allegedly providing materials to the IRCG - the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
    The US government considers the Revolutionary Guards to be a terrorist organization.
    The American authorities want the suspect extradited for allegedly involvement in the supply of electronic components for the construction of lethal weapons such as drones.
    The suspect is allegedly linked to a drone attack by Iranian-backed groups in Jordan in January which three US soldiers were killed and dozens were injured.
    He allegedly had a Swiss company that moved navigation systems for drones and missiles.
    The man was detained on Monday at Milan's Malpensa airport, where he was in transit after landing on a flight from Istanbul.
    The police searched the suspect and his luggage, seizing electronic components compatible with the offences he is charged of in the United States. (ANSA).
