(ANSA) Rome March 2 - A 37-year-old man of Algerian origin
who studied at Naples University's Oriental Studies faculty is
the author of Isis' first online manual in Italian, Il Tempo
reported Monday.
"It's not clear if he is still in Italy but certainly in the
past he was in Rome in some suburban mosques and also in Milan,"
the Rome newspaper said, citing "internal sources in the Italian
Islamic community".
The tract entitled "the Islamic state, a reality" was
published on jihadist sites and was aimed at would-be terrorists
in Italy, security sources say.
The man, identified only by his initials K.H., produced the
chilling manual a few months ago "using parts of Islamic state
magazines and documents in Arabic and English and translating
them into Italian, a language that he knows perfectly," the
sources were quoted saying.
K.H. may already have left Italy for Libya as he felt
"hunted by the security services," the sources added.
