(ANSA) Cabinet Secretary Alfredo Mantovano said Sunday that the main terrorist threat Italy faces at the moment comes from lone wolves rather than organized groups like the one that staged Friday’s attack in Moscow.
“The threat is not so much that of organised groups. I believe that a group like the one that acted in the Moscow attack, which must have been trained and had logistical support, would be intercepted sooner in Italy,” he told Rai television.
“The most worrying threat is online recruitment.
“The risk of self-activation by lone wolves? Yes, as has happened in other European states.”
