Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said Monday he ordered four Moroccan nationals expelled from the country because they are violent extremism sympathizers.
"I signed this decree for reasons of national security," Alfano said. The four "adhered to and were committed to spreading violent extremism".
The four suspects lived in Bologna province and were under surveillance by the police anti-terror unit. They were being investigated for training recruits and other activities aimed at domestic and international terrorism.
