Italy arrests ‘IS teen’ with links to Vienna attacker

(AFP) Police in Italy arrested a 19-year-old Italian-Kosovar woman on Wednesday accused of belonging to the Islamic State group, who was said to be “willing to become a martyr” and had ties to the Vienna attacker.

The woman, identified only by the initials B. T., was married to a Kosovar related to gunman Kujtim Fejzulai, who killed four people in the Austrian capital last year before being shot dead by police, the interior ministry said.

B. T., who had been radicalised aged 16, had recently moved from Kosovo to Milan, but had remained in constant contact with her husband and fellow IS supporters back home, it said.

Police found jihadist material on her phone, along with photographs of known IS attackers.
