A 34-year-old Algerian national
was deported from Italy Thursday for reasons of national
security, the interior ministry said.
The man, an irregular immigrant was flagged to authorities by
the DIGOS anti-terror police in Catania for "instigation to
commit terror crimes" after publishing on his Facebook profile
phrases agreeing with the persecution of Christian communities
in the Middle East by jihadist groups.
With this expulsion Italy has now expelled 86 people back to
their home countries this year, and 218 since the start of 2015.
They have all been subjects gravitating in extremist
religious circles, the ministry said.
