ROME, Italy (CNN) -- Italian police have arrested four men and issued warrants for 10 others in two anti-terror operations in the country, authorities said.

In Turin, three Moroccans were arrested Wednesday and accused of subversive association aimed at international terrorism.

Investigators believe the three gave financial and logistical support to a Moroccan-based organization called the Moroccan Combatant Group.

Also arrested in Turin was a Tunisian man accused of facilitating illegal immigration.

The four men came into the country legally on temporary visas.

In Milan, police issued arrest warrants for 10 non-Italians on anti-terror charges. The suspects are accused of dealing in false documents, illegal financing of suspected terror organizations and recruiting people for terror operations in Italy and abroad.

The arrests and warrants are the result of an investigation begun in 2001 on a group of Islamic militants, mainly Tunisians.

CNN Producer Andrea Foa contributed to this report.
