Naples prosecutors said Monday
that a 34-year-old Gambian national suspected of being linked to
ISIS has been detained in an operation by State and Carabinieri
police.
The investigators said the terror suspect, named as Sillah
Osman, underwent tough training in an area of the Libyan desert.
They said he was meant to carry out a terrorist attack in
France or Spain together with Alagie Touray, a 21-year-old who
was detained outside a mosque in the province of Naples town of
Licola on April 20.
Touray allegedly published a video of himself pledging
loyalty to ISIS and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi via the
Telegram online service.
He allegedly received an order via the same service to drive
a car into a crowd.
