The leader of the
anti-immigrant, center-right Northern League party said Monday
center-left Premier Matteo Renzi must stop illegal migrants
fleeing war in North Africa and the Middle East or "be a
terrorist accomplice".
"The premier said yesterday that terrorists make money off
the migrant boats," Salvini told La7 private broadcaster.
"He must block these boats or become an accomplice of the
terrorists".
Salvini's comments came after some 2,000 migrants from
Libya were rescued off the Mediterranean last week in the wake
of Islamic State (ISIS) extremist forces' capture of the Libyan
region of Sirte.
