A Moroccan national was deported by the Italian authorities for celebrating Bardo's terror attack, when three militants attacked the National Museum in the Tunisian capital and took hostages on March 2015. According to La Vanguardia, a Spanish online newspaper, the Italian Interior Ministry reported on Monday the expulsion of a 37-year-old Moroccan citizen who had announced that he «would be easy for him to carry out attacks in the Vatican and poison Rome's drinking water». The expulsion was justified by «state security reasons», as the Moroccan national was already detained for common crimes and has been known to the authorities as a «potential threat». In addition, he had said that «he would not have had difficulties entering the Vatican State to commit acts of violence or to poison Rome's water supply network,» the ministry said in a statement. During his stay in prison he had been active in «extremist proselytizing guided by another Tunisian jihadist linked to the ideology of the self-proclaimed Islamic State,» added the Ministry, which indicated that the detainee was sent by air to Morocco.
