The arrest of a 22-year-old man in Italy suggests Europe’s terror threat extends well beyond that posed by Tehran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Police in Reggio Emilia and Bologna on Monday arrested an Italian man of Moroccan origins, who judicial sources told reporters is accused of recruiting for the purpose of terrorism, including international terrorism.
Investigators discovered that the man had alleged motives to attack people with a knife. He had been in contact with a man believed to be a supporter of the ISIS Islamic terror group, who had offered training and funding.
