(see related) Investigators said
Thursday that the probe that led to the arrest of a number of
suspected aspiring terrorists showed that one of them had
received a request from the Syria-Iraq war zone to conduct
terrorist attacks in Rome. "There was a request to carry out
attacks on the Italian territory, not a general, but a specific
indication that emerges from messages we intercepted," said
Milan prosecutor Maurizio Romanelli. Investigators told a news
conference that a young man from Morocco who obtained Italian
citizenship and was arrested, having allegedly wanted to join
ISIS with his wife and two children, received the request. "He
was the one who received the request from a Moroccan who resided
in (the northern town) of Bulciago and went with his wife and
three children to the war zones over a year ago".
