Italian police will increase their level of vigilance ahead of the upcoming Easter holidays, the interior ministry said on Monday following a review of national security in the wake of Friday’s attack in Moscow.
“In anticipation of the upcoming Easter holidays, an intensification of surveillance and control activities by the police has been agreed,” a statement said, adding that especial attention would be given to “all sensitive targets.”
Italy’s decision follows a similar call made by France.
The French government on Sunday raised its terror alert warning to its highest level following the shootings in Moscow.
