Italy increased security measures towards its diplomatic missions around the world after nearly a dozen anarchist attacks caused damaged to Italian targets in Germany, Spain and more.

MILAN — (AP) — Italy's government has increased security around its diplomatic missions around the globe in response to “a crescendo of terroristic attacks” by an anarchist network that has been acting in solidarity with an imprisoned Italian militant, the foreign minister said Tuesday. Tajani said they believe the network includes both Italians and anarchists from other countries acting in concert. The 55-year-old militant is serving a 10-year sentence for shooting in the leg an energy executive for a state-controlled company and 20 years for a series of dynamite attacks in Italy. The regime is imposed on prisoners who are considered to pose a danger even from inside prison. Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said that the fact of the attacks only reinforces the necessity of the regime in Cospito’s case.
