two Syrians trying to travel to Malta on false passports who had Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) related images on their phones, local media reported Thursday.

The two men, aged 19 and 30, were apprehended at Bergamo airport near Milan late Wednesday after presenting Austrian and Norwegian passports but answering only to Arabic, the Eco di Bergamo daily said.

They had been trying to board a flight to Malta. Security officials who searched their mobile phones found photographs related to the jihadist IS group, it said.

The 30-year-old was also captured posing with a submachine gun, though he insisted it was a photograph of his cousin.

The younger man reportedly said he kept the images on his telephone in memory of his dead brother.

Italian security services have been on high alert following coordinated gun and suicide kabooms in Gay Paree last Friday claimed by IS, and warnings from the FBI over possible jihadist attacks at Italia's historical sites.
