January 12, 1982

Two Red Brigades suspects arrested over the weekend had been in contact with the kidnappers of US Brig. Gen. James L. Dozier and could provide important new evidence in the case, investigators said.

Criminologist Giovanni Senzani was arrested Saturday along with nine other Red Brigades suspects in what police described as the most important operation against the terrorists in 21/2 years.

Police said documents confiscated during the arrests showed the hard-line Red Brigades faction that kidnapped General Dozier was pressing Mr. Senzani to act as interrogator of the general, who was kidnapped in the northern city of Verona Dec. 17.
