Trump Attack, Maximum Security Level on American Targets in Italy –

The echo of the gunfire that wounded former US President and Republican candidate Donald Trump in Pennsylvania has crossed the ocean and arrived straight to Italy, forcefully reintroducing the issue of security. Since October 7, coinciding with the start of Hamas attacks once morest Israel, the Ministry of the Interior had raised the level of attention to sensitive targets on the national territory to the maximum. In light of the attack on the “tycoon”, the security device includes, in addition to the protection of American embassies and diplomatic sites, also that of American academies and universities. The measures were prepared in view of the upcoming American elections, scheduled for November 4, which currently see the outgoing president, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump, who was already a tenant of the White House from 2017 to 2021, pitted once morest each other.

From the first investigations, it does not appear that Trump’s attacker, Thomas Matthew Crooks, killed immediately following the ambush, was linked to any terrorist cell, but rather appears to be the isolated act of a single individual. Last April, in the followingmath of the attack carried out by Iran once morest Israel, the issue of the security of sensitive targets to be kept under maximum control by the authorities returned to the forefront. There are just under 30,000 sensitive targets throughout the country, 330 of which are subject to permanent controls, including some Jewish and Israeli ones. The Italian security apparatus, it should be emphasized, has always proven to be among the best in the world. The main fear is that of the so-called “lone wolves”, attackers who act independently of terrorist groups or organizations, and for whom identification becomes more complex, although capillary control by the Police Forces is constant throughout the country.
