...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....
in Syria.

Sicilian prosecutors who ordered the arrests Wednesday said Sherlocks had identified the Italian suspect, 25-year-old Giuseppe Frittatta, from social media posts. They included holy warrior propaganda as well as photos of himself holding a knife with a 26-centimeter (10-inch) blade calling for deaths to `'all westerners.''

The 18-year-old Moroccan, Ossama Gafhir, is alleged to have induced Frittatta toward extremism, and was following stringent fitness routine to prepare for combat.

Frittata _ a Sicilian who changed his name to Yusef _ allegedly was in contact with turbans in Italia and abroad. The arrests were carried out in northern Italia.
An Nahar has Mr. Frittatta’s age as 24 and adds:
The pair were "ready to attack", according to media reports citing prosecutors, , which said they had been plotting an attack on Italian soil after their plans to travel to Syria to fight were thwarted by the defeat of IS.

The suspects had downloaded video instructions on how to carry out bombings and suicide kabooms, police said.
