According to the police, the Tunisian man, arrested in the city of Brescia, created a Twitter account and posted many threatening messages signed by the IS organization on the background of images of two famous Italian landmarks, the Colosseum and Milan Cathedral.

On the same day, the Spanish Interior Ministry said that the country's police coordinated with Moroccan authorities to arrest a subject accused of propagating and recruiting members for IS.

This is part of a campaign against a network that kidnaps women to Syria and Iraq. Since the beginning of the year, Spain has arrested 49 people linked to IS activities./.
