Terrorism, of the 007 alarm: “Italy increasingly exposed. Risk infiltration from the Balkans” – The Republic

Rome – Italy increasingly exposed to the risk of terrorism. The “competition” between al Qaeda and Is can lead to egregious attacks. It increases the flow in the jihad theaters of entire families and young women. Domestically, the danger still lurking Brigades. And always on the front of anarcho-insurrectionist. The report of the secret services to Parliament warns the political dangers that the country is running at the moment in which the great war tensions (from Syria-Iraq-Daesh conflict to that in Libya, Russia from Turkey to those tensions between Turks and Kurds), add up a cyclical economic crisis and political instability. The intelligence – typically more cautious – this time not afraid to say too much. They know that Italy is playing its biggest game in Libya, disputed by the French theater and on which has a strong influence over Egypt. What’s more, the country is highly exposed in terms of “religious” because of the Jubilee in progress. It is no accident that the report’s emphasis on Italy’s high exposure to the risk of terrorism.

Infiltration from the Balkans . “The risk of terrorist infiltration in migration flows, that what the North African director, despite recurring warning, found no specific evidence, it is more concrete along the axis of the Balkan route”. as well as which zone for the Balkan route our intelligence shows, in particular, “the security vulnerabilities related to the impressive flow of refugees from the Syrian-Iraqi theater, the centrality of the region as a privileged way of two-way transit of foreign fighters, the source of more than 900 volunteers in the jihad fighter arruolatisi files; the presence in the reality extremist consolidated, able to play an active role in the radicalization of migrants. “
has also emerged the operation of associations active in Brindisi transfer of migrants from the coast of the southern Balkan peninsula towards our country. They are former smuggler of foreign tobacco, experts smugglers are able to evade the maritime surveillance, which would use fast boats of limited size (not more than twenty people) intercepting an application capable of supporting high travel costs. “

Cyber ​​security and digital spy . According to our intelligence , it is “an increasingly common practice in the attack that targeted the enterprise aimed at gaining an advantage competition from other companies in the sector through the illicit acquisition of sensitive information. Right on the side of the cyber espionage have emerged particularly sophisticated forms of aggression and undetectable by security software. In some types of attacks, the target system, once compromised, likely to remain infected even after the remedial measures, and continuing to “suffer” contamination. Some offensive campaigns were at the basis of continuous data exfiltration activity with the use of increasingly advanced malware because they can identify and exploit vulnerabilities in systems even before they emerge attention or that its decisive updates are available.

Risk attacks . “The threat that can materialize at the hands of a diverse group of actors, makes the ‘zero risk’ objectively impossible …”. “It is believed to be high – write the 007 in the report – the risk of new shares in Europe, by both emissaries, ad hoc post, including foreign fighters , both of militants may already be present (and integrated / camouflaged) in Europe, who have received inspiration and input from players based outside of the country concerned. “

style Attacks Paris . It grows the “possibility that Europe will take up space new egregious attacks on the style of those in Paris , but also forms of horizontal coordination between micro-cells, or individual actions summarily planned and thereby completely unpredictable”
Italy increasingly exposed .” “Italy is a potentially privileged target under a political and symbolic / religious point of view, also in relation to the economic situation of the extraordinary Jubilee; breeding ground for new generations of aspiring mujahideen , who live in the myth of return to the caliphate and that, adhering to the offensive campaign by Daesh, may decide to act within our borders. “

the Vatican in the anarchists targeted . “There remains a high threat of anarchy more determined insurgency areas where a particular target for violent initiatives are related to the sector of repression and sectors military, technological and nuisances. In the first row in the group of possible targets also remain the economic and financial powers, the corporate media and representative structures / figures of foreign states and transnational institutions, without being able to exclude the Vatican and the Church, also in consideration of the display represented by the special Jubilee. “

lurking old bierre .” unrealistic, or at least not immediately viability, appear instead of ideology revitalization projects Brigades, still cultivated by small rooms on the floor propaganda committed to preserving the memory of the years of lead, also in an attempt to actualize the message. “in terms of the matrix environments Brigades,” continue to be present – although in a medium time horizon -long-term – potential risks of a resumption of the subversive phenomenon, linked to certain aspects not totally reconstructed from the investigation on the latest terrorist season. “

Padoan, terrorist financing polluter . Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan, in a conference at the Luiss University, said “We are facing the proliferation of an international network of terrorist financing that is polluting, and therefore could have other consequences, the financial systems of markets. that requires special attention. “

Al Qaeda and Is, competitors of terror . “Al Qaeda may intervene on the scene, in contrast with Daesh with” egregious acts “.” The information gathered by the intelligence acquisitions, as well as the feedback shared within the international collaboration, do not allow, however, to believe from the danger traceable to terrorist groups linked to al Qaeda. Although the latter are marked by individual defections in favor of Daesh, they have continued to record a certain effervescence much on the recruitment plan and on that OS, and its competition with Daesh could strengthen the resolve qaidista to act on the global stage egregious acts. At the same time, there remains the danger of an autonomous activation of homegrown extremists who, individually or in micro-groups, might be raised with key emulative in the wake of the events in Paris, realize violent intentions in relation to frustrated aspirations of reaching the jihad theaters or otherwise collect appeals to the action launched by Daesh and other terrorist organizations. “

” women of the jihad fighter “. the secret services devote an entire chapter to the role of women in the Caliphate . “the presence of women in jihadi terrorism has experienced a rapid expansion in conjunction with the emergence of Daesh, as demonstrated by the increasing number of European mujahidat aspirants, mostly young and from different backgrounds social, trying to reach the Syrian-Iraqi theater. Their main task is to be wives and mothers of the mujahideen: for this purpose, purpose of the trip is usually reunited with their spouse already on the forehead or the union with a militant also known via the Internet in the jihad nikah ( “Marriage for the jihad “), in compliance with the proclamations of Daesh where being urged to contribute to the Muslim population of the Caliphate and to” raise “the new generations, as well as to boost the morale of the fighters. However, there are cases of extremists engaged in proselytism and recruitment activities (especially online, where the circuits exist to “exclusive” women’s sphere), logistics support (for example, carrying money) and operational nature.

the female brigades Daesh . Emblematic, among other things, the establishment in Syria and Iraq of two brigades Daesh composed by women (including the “famous” to Khansaa, active in Raqqa), both with tasks mainly of “police”, especially for the close supervision that the conduct of the female population is in line with the dictates sharaitici. The phenomenon pillar of jihad for women imposed a refinement of violent extremism contrast tools. It should be read in this sense, for example, the Good Practices on Women and Countering Violent Extremism , undertaken under the Global Counter-Terrorism Forum , designed, first, to prevent the involvement of women and girls in terrorist activities and, secondly, to support the many female victims of extremism and terrorism.

Reducismo and foreign fighter . “Maximum disclosure supervision was therefore given to the danger resulting from the possible arrival of returnees , or by the movements of commuter – especially in the case of subjects with travel documents that allow them to move freely in the Schengen area – already resident on our territory or in other European countries. ” These are subjects capable of traveling several times from the West Jihad theater and vice versa, escaping the controls mesh. “Even in Italy, the phenomenon of foreign fighters , initially with more content than the European average numbers, resulted in steady growth, highlighting, which looks particularly critical, the ‘self-recruitment of young elements, at the end of radicalization processes often eaten very quickly and without the knowledge of the family circle. “

Proselytism in prison, at risk young people. “must be assessed very carefully the growing consensus signals to the jihadist ideology that emerged in the on-line radicals circuits, frequented by persons resident in Italy or Italian speakers: it is also very young individuals, usually without a specific background, permeable to opinions “climbing” or the influence of charismatic figures and made more receptive to “believe” jihadist by crises of identity, marginalization and paranoid visions of social rules, sometimes the result of frequenting circles of petty, canteen and prisons. ” “The prisoners for common crimes seem the most vulnerable to paths of ideological-religious radicalization and, if indoctrinated, may, upon release from prison, decide to reach the territories of the Caliphate or otherwise nourish feelings of revenge against our country.”
