The country would be targeted for symbolism in the Western and Christian world
– An annual Italian intelligence report, published on Wednesday (28), states that the country, due to its symbolism, is a potential target for jihadists.
Italy has confirmed itself as a potential target due to its centrality in the Christian world, for its commitment to the Global Anti-Islamic State Coalition and for the presence of symbolic places of Western history, such as the Colosseum, which continues to be considered, by rhetoric of the region, a privileged objective of conquest in the heart of Europe “incredulous”?, we read in the document.
For example, the text cites the case of the burning of a copy of the Koran in Stockholm on 28 June 2023.
After the episode, the pro-Islamic state press published a poster portraying a jihadist fighter, with a distorted face, with a representation of the Colosseum with the Swedish flag on his back and a hashtag in Arabic that said “burn the copies of the Koran and bombing of mosques?.
The report also maintains a high level of attention towards ?foreign fighters? (foreign fighters) arrived at war sites.
In 2023, the number of people linked to Italy reached 149, of which 39 returned to the country.
77 people potentially dangerous to national security were also expelled, including 42 Tunisians, but also an Australian right-wing extremist.
