Terror in Vienna: Police arrest a relative of the terrorist in Italy – She had offered to sacrifice her life for the “Islamic State”

An Italian woman of Kosovar origin (19), who has family ties to the Vienna assassin Kujtim F., has been arrested by the police in Milan for suspected terrorist activities. The young woman has been a devoted follower of the “Islamic State” (IS) for three years, the police announced.

The investigation was triggered by an intelligence report on the girl’s husband, a 21-year-old Kosovar whom she had married in January and who was related to the Vienna assassin. Hundreds of pictures of “executions of infidels” with beheadings were discovered on the arrested woman’s mobile phone, police said. The woman described herself as a member of the terrorist group “Lions of the Balkans”.

The woman, who had joined the group three years ago, had declared in phone calls that she was willing to sacrifice her life for the “Islamic State”. Milan prosecutor Alberto Nobili, who led the anti-terror investigation, spoke of the woman’s “gruesome phone calls”.

On November 2, 2020, the 20-year-old Kujtim F. had killed four people in the centre of Vienna with several firearms and injured numerous others, some seriously. The IS sympathiser was shot dead by the police.
