(AFP) Italian police said Tuesday they had dismantled a cell which promoted jihadist propaganda online, with five suspects of foreign origin targeted including their alleged leader, a Pakistani woman.
Four of the suspects are accused of having “formed a terrorist association of Salafist-jihadist inspiration” through which they promoted Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group, a statement said.
The fifth, a young man, was said to be undergoing a radicalisation process under the guidance of his sister, a young Pakistani woman who grew up in the northern city of Bologna and who was the main suspect.
