U.S. Applauds Italy’s Foreign Terrorist Fighter Repatriation PRESS STATEMENT MICHAEL R. POMPEO, SECRETARY OF STATE WASHINGTON, DC JULY 2, 2019
The United States commends the Government of Italy for the repatriation of an Italian foreign terrorist fighter from Syria. Italy is a key partner in the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, and we appreciate its commitment to countering terrorism. With this repatriation, Italy has provided an important example to all members of the Global Coalition and the international community on how we need to work together to address the issue of foreign terrorist fighters who have traveled to fight for ISIS. It is our hope that other Western European countries will follow Italy’s example and take responsibility for their citizens in Syria.

According to diplomatic sources, the US prevented the 15-member Security Council from issuing a statement although it was unclear why. A US State Department statement released in Washington earlier had condemned the "abhorrent" air strike, but did not call for a truce. dw

In epoche precedenti i vertici dell'antiterrorismo vennero informati quasi all'ultimo momento circa triangolazioni tra dipartimento di stato e governo italiano che avevano condotto a designazioni poco opportune visto il momento particolarmente delicato.
Le conseguenze devono essere sempre valutate con attenzione da tutte le parti interessate.
