ROME (Sputnik) — On Friday, a range of Islamist websites linked to Daesh (banned in Russia) announced that after van attacks in Spain the next target was Italy.
"I do not believe the propaganda of Islamist websites, but I realize that no country, including Italy, can feel secured from the [terrorist] threat," Gentiloni said at the opening of the Catholic "meeting for friendship among peoples" event in the Italian city of Rimini.
"Daesh has been defeated, it has failed in reaching its main goal of turning its terrorist presence into a state. But the threat still concerns everyone," Gentiloni said.
On Thursday and early Friday, Spain's Barcelona and Cambrils faced two van ramming attacks, which have killed over a dozen of people and left over 130 more injured. Daesh claimed responsibility for the attacks.
