Interpol has shared the suspects list, which provides names and dates of birth, to the Italian Interior Ministry and other European anti-terrorism agencies.
More than 5,500 Tunisians arrived in Italy last year, and nearly half of them were later expelled for threatening Italian security, according to the Italian Interior Ministry.
