According to Kathpress, police in Rome arrested a suspected member of the terrorist group “Islamic State” (IS) this weekend. According to local media reports, the 37-year-old Egyptian has been active on the internet as a ‘virtual fighter’ for the past two years. He had distributed large amounts of jihadist propaganda material, including tips on making explosives.
According to the information, investigators classified the fact that the man was repeatedly in the Vatican tourist zone recently as particularly concerning. The authorities then decided to remove him from circulation as a precaution by a special unit of the Carabinieri. The investigation into possible accomplices continued, it said Saturday.
