Italy is to step up its efforts to combat Islamic radicalisation in its prisons following the Berlin truck attack by a Tunisian who spent time in an Italian jail. New Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni has come under increased pressure to tackle illegal migration and radicalisation in the aftermath of December's terrorist attack. Italy's anti-terrorism chief said last week the suspect, Anis Amri (pictured), had been radicalised while in a Sicilian jail. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, which killed 12. Amri was shot dead four days later by Italian police in Milan on December 23 after fleeing Germany. Italy's Interior Minister Marco Minniti added that he wanted a 'protective network against the malware of terror' online, but gave no details on how the government planned to address the problems in jails. The national prison workers' union said in a statement that jails had become 'a fertile ground' for jihadists to recruit weaker individuals to fight for them.
