We
judge
that
ISIL is
training
and
attempting
to
deploy
operatives
for
further
attacks.
ISIL
has
a large
cadre
of
Western
fighters
who
could
potentially
serve
as
operatives
for
attacks
in
the
West.
And
the
group
is probably
exploring
a variety
of
means
for
infiltrating
operatives
into the West, including
refugee
flows, smuggling routes,
and
legitimate
methods
of
travel.
Further,
as
we
have
seen
in
Orlando,
San
Bernardino,
and
elsewhere,
ISIL
is
attempting
to inspire
attacks
by
sympathizers
who
have
no
direct
links to
the
group.
Last
month,
for
example,
a
senior
ISIL figure publicly
urged
the
group's
followers
to
conduct
attacks
in their
home
countries
if
they
were
unable
to travel to
Syria
and
Iraq.
At
the
same
time, ISIL is
gradually
cultivating
its
global
network
of
branches
into a
more
interconnected
organization.
The
branch
in Libya is
probably
the
most
developed
and
the
most
dangerous.
We
assess
that
it is trying to
increase
its
influence
in Africa
and
to
plot
attacks
in
the
region
and
in
Europe.Finally, on
the
propaganda
front,
the
Coalition
is working
to
counter
ISIL's
expansive
propaganda
machine.
ISIL
paints
a carefully
crafted
image
to
the
outside
world,
lauding
its own military
efforts,
portraying
its
so-called
"caliphate"
as
a thriving
state,
and
alleging
that
the
group
is expanding
globally
even
as
it
faces
setbacks
locally.
ISIL
releases
a multitude
of
media
products
on a
variety
of
platforms—including
social
media,
mobile
applications,
radio,
and
hardcopy
mediums.
To
disseminate
its official
online
propaganda,
the
group
primarily
uses
Twitter,
Telegram,
and
Tumblr,
and
it relies
on a
global
network
of
sympathizers
to
further
spread
its
messages.
In
sum,
ISIL
remains
a formidable
adversary,
but
the
United
States
and
our
global
partners
have
succeeded
in
putting
the
group
on
the
defensive,
forcing
it to
devote
more
time
and
energy
to try to hold
territory
and
to
protect
its vital
infrastructure.
And
though
this
will
be
a long
and
difficult fight,
there
is
broad
agreement
in
the
international
community
on
the
seriousness
of
the
threat,
and
on
the
need
to
meet
it collectively
and
decisively. John Brennan
Al quadro presentato da Brennan, che ormai tutti ben conosciamo, è inutile rispondere, come è stato fatto da alcuni rappresentanti delle istituzioni qui in Italia, che non ci sono elementi concreti che inducono a pensare alla possibilità di un attacco imminente.
E' importante piuttosto conoscere il livello e le modalità di adesione alla ideologia criminale di Daesh.
Nelle carceri, sul web, nelle moschee.
Ma anche come si sta sviluppando il livello di operatività dei simpatizzanti.
Senza dimenticare poi che Daesh non è l'unica insidia.
Ci sono altri gruppi terroristici la cui storia si incrocia con il destino del nostro Paese.
Mesi fa ad esempio un gruppo di somali venne arrestato in Sicilia per contraffazione di documenti.
La polizia sospettava che i proventi del traffico fossero destinati ad al Shabaab.
E dall'Europa molti partono per combattere in varie zone del Nord Africa.
E' di qualche giorno fa la notizia di un italiano che avrebbe avuto in animo di realizzare un attentato in Marocco.
Sono tutte questioni all'attenzione di inquirenti e governo. Mettere a disposizione del pubblico, almeno parte delle audizioni parlamentari, sarebbe d'aiuto a rendere partecipi tutti della situazione.
