Tajik National Arrested in Rome on Suspicion of Islamic State Membership

The suspect, wanted for terrorism-related crimes, was apprehended at Rome's international airport after arriving from the Netherlands.

Italian police arrested a Tajik man suspected of being an active member of the Islamic State group.
The arrest was made possible by an international arrest warrant targeting the suspect for terrorism-related crimes.
The individual, identified only as S. I., is accused of joining the Islamic State as a foreign fighter in Syria in 2014.
He has used multiple fake identities and nationalities, including from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Ukraine.
The arrest is part of heightened security measures in Rome due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza.
