Why It Matters
A 21-year-old man was arrested in Milan on charges of international terrorism. He allegedly used social media to praise ISIS attacks against Christians and the West, and to incite martyrdom, referencing a recent event in Modena. Authorities considered his immediate action likely.
Ha pubblicato sui suoi social post per esaltare attentati terroristici compiuti dallo Stato Islamico contro i "Cristiani" e "contro l'Occidente", per incitare "al martirio" con anche "riferimento al tragico evento" di Modena del 15 maggio. E due giorni fa ha scritto frasi facendo "ritenere verosimile una sua immediata" azione per colpire. Per questo motivo la Procura di Milano ha fermato un 21enne con l'accusa di terrorismo internazionale. Dall'inchiesta del pm Alessandro Gobbis e del procuratore Marcello Viola il ragazzo, nato in Italia da genitori marocchini e residente in Brianza, il 9 giugno sarebbe volato in Marocco.
