(ANSA) - Rome, November 24 - Interior Minister Angelino Alfano on Tuesday signed an order to expel a Tunisian resident of the Brianza area in northwestern Lombardy on suspicion of being a terrorist threat. This brings to 60 the expulsions carried out since last December, Alfano said. Wiretap surveillance revealed the suspect was "willing to become a martyr" (for Islam) and to murder his estranged Italian wife "in fear she might convert their children to Christianity," Alfano said.
