Melech 9,900 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Italiian authorities arrested four people suspected of extremism on Thursday and issued arrest warrants for two more operating in Syria, according to the Milan prosecutor Authorities said one of the suspects is a Moroccan-born national living in Italy who had received orders from the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) to conduct an attack in Rome during the Holy Year, a period announced by Pope Francis that lasts from December 2015 to November 2016. The man, who authorities named as Abderrahim Moutahrrick, is reported to have received a WhatsApp message from ISIS-held territory that read: “Dear brother Abderrahim, I send you... the bomb poem... listen to the sheik and strike,” in reference to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Milan prosecutor Maurizio Romanelli said that Moutahrrick planned to attack the Vatican and the Israeli embassy in Rome and told one of the other suspects, 23-year-old Moroccan-born Abderrahmane Khachia, in a monitored conversation: “I want to hit Israel in Rome.” Authorities arrested Khachia in the northern Italian city of Varese and Moutahrrick was living in the city of Lecco, north of Milan in the province of Lombardy. ISIS has regularly used the symbolism of Rome and the Roman Empire to outline its aims to conquer Europe and attack the continent’s “crusaders” in a bid to recruit foreign fighters." http://europe.newsweek.com/italy-uncovers-islamist-plot-attack-vatican-and-israeli-embassy-453515?rx=eu thank god it was prevented Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
