The intelligence services annual
report to parliament said Monday that there was an increasingly
acute risk that individuals "radicalized at home" could opt to
"conduct the jihad directly on Italian territory" rather than
head to Syria or Iraq. It said Italy faced a "pronounced
exposition... to the challenges represented by jihadist
terrorism". It added that the large-scale arrival of asylum
seekers could "stress the foreign communities present in our
country" and lead to "possible criminal and radical Islamic
deviations stemming from resentment over betrayed expectations".
