(ANSA) - Rome, September 23 - Italy has deported a Moroccan
woman who declared herself in favor of the so-called Islamic
State (ISIS) terrorist group, Interior Minister Angelino Alfano
said Friday.
The 44-year-old lived in the city of Perugia and "displayed
clear signs of religious radicalization, declared herself in
favor of ISIS and published content on her Facebook profile that
caused it to be shut down," Alfano said.
"She expressed marked hostility towards Shiite Muslims,
Western countries, Jews, and unbelievers," the minister
explained.
The woman also commented on a Facebook post that said:
"Believers who emigrate and conduct jihad in God's name can
expect God's blessing, and I hope to be among them".
"Amen, I hope so too," the deportee, who was flown from
Rome's Fiumicino Airport to the Moroccan city of Casablanca
earlier in the day, commented on Facebook.
"The strategy of prevention is fundamental for us," Alfano
went on. "We are committed on this front with perseverance and
determination".
Today's deportation brought to 116 the number of people
expelled since the start of 2015, of which 50 were expelled this
year.
