Leftist terrorists of the anarchic variety are believed to be responsible for a fire at an Italian electrical center for high-speed trains.
According to a report by Il Giornale, the attack which caused hours of delay happened in Rovezzano, just outside of Florence. Police investigators believe the three separate fires were started with some kind of flammable liquid.
Due to commonalities with another attack on rail infrastructure that happened in 2014 not far from Rovezzano, investigators think that extreme-left anarchists could be responsible for the attack.
On top of that, the date of this most recent attack happened to fall on the same date as the court judgment of a 2017 bombing case where an extremist anarchist bombed a bookstore in Florence associated with far-right Casa Pound party.
Mario Vece, an Italian police officer, ended up losing a hand as a result of the bombing after he attempted to secure the area.
This week, prosecutors in the railway sabotage case called those responsible for the attack “terrorists” and referred to the attack as an “act of war”.
Yesterday, thirty-nine anarchist extremists were found guilty in connection with the bookstore bombing. They received sentences between 10 months and nine years.
A website associated with Italy’s anarchist scene also made comments about the railway infrastructure attack, questioning whether the act of sabotage was a coincidence? A ‘cowardly provocation’? Or, more simply and humanly, a gesture of love and anger?”
Police investigators have stated that they haven’t ruled the message as a potential claim of responsibility.
Matteo Salvini, Italy’s national populist interior minister, commented on the case saying: “They deserve years in jail, given that they have blocked Italy and ruined the day for many Italians. This afternoon I will be in Rovezzano to assess the situation.”
Salvini also said that he would look into whether there are any links between this new case and the anti-TAV (a tunnel that runs between Italy and France) protesters who attacked police recently.
The far-left extremist movement appears to be growing in Italy and around Europe.
In May, members of the far-left Antifa movement targeted an office belonging to Salvini’s League party. In the same month, Juan Antonio Sorroche Fernandez, a Spanish anarchist, was arrested in connection with another bombing of a League party office in Treviso which occurred in August of last year.
Antifa cells in other countries like Germany have also attempted to damage infrastructure. One German Antifa group even created a 44-page instructional manual which encourages people to target political party offices, burn cars, and shows people how to sabotage electric grids and other forms of infrastructure
