2. Operation “Martese” and “lady jihad”

On Wednesday July 1st 2015 five jihadists were arrested in a counter-terror operation that took place between Italy and Albania, while five others are still wanted and currently hiding in the Middle East.

The raids took place in Inzago (Milan province), Scansano (Grosseto province), Treviglio (Bergamo province) and in the Albanian city of Lushnje and the ten accused of terrorism and propaganda are:

Buonfiglio Assunta (17.02.1955), her husband Sergio Sergio (20.06.1954), their older daughter Marianna Sergio (10.05.1984), apprehended in Inzago.

Their younger daughter, Maria Giulia “Fatima Az-Zahra” Sergio (23.09.1987) is still at large and currently in Syria, together with her husband, Albanian citizen Aldo “Said” Kobuzi (17.07.1991).

Coku Baki (19.09.1975), Aldo Kobuzi’s uncle, was arrested in Lushnje while visiting relatives, but he resident in Scansano (Grosseto), together with his sister Arta Kacabuni (23.03.1974), also arrested in the Tuscanian city.

In addition, two other Albanians are still at large: Aldo’s mother, Coku Donika (16.05.1971) and his sister Serjola (25.02.1996), currently hiding in Raqqa. Donika and her brother have both appeared in a 2010 INPS list of agricultural workers in Scansano, were they were resident. She was the first one of the family to become radicalized, after her former husband left for Italy and abandoned her. As for Serjola, she was previously married to an Albanian jihadist named Mariglen Dervishllari, who died while fighting for ISIS. Serjola later married another jihadist there. Dervishllari was radicalized by Albanian imam and recruiter Genci Balla and in Saudi Arabia while studying at the Islamic University of Medina, as registration documents for academic year 2010-2011 show8.

A Canadian citizen of Syrian origin who grew up in Bologna is also at large and wanted by Italian authorities; her name is Bushra Haik (30.07.1985). She left Bologna in 2012 for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Haik had a major role in radicalizing Maria Giulia Sergio and other young women through Quran, Tafsir and Aqidah lessons that she gave through Skype. She had a large number of followers and also taught Arabic and Quran recitation, all online with the Skype account Bushra_1. She is very well-known inside the Muslim community in northern Italy and she was a strong anti-Assad activist9.

It is clear that this Italian-Albanian jihadist group revolved around the pre-arranged wedding of Maria Giulia Sergio and Aldo Kobuzi and it is also evident that the couple could count on important links to ISIS both in Albania and Turkey, such as Ahmed Abu Alharith, a well-known ISIS recruiter and foreign fighters coordinator who gave them hints on how to safely reach Syria. Through his Turkish phone number, Alharith takes the calls of potential terrorists who want to reach Syria and gives them advices. He manages contacts with volunteers from many countries such as Afghanistan, Algeria, Bosnia, Albania, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Georgia, Libya, Lebanon, France, Oman, Sweden, Iraq, Switzerland, Italy, San Marino, Russia. People call that number and there is always someone who speaks the required language and is able to give advices and directions to the volunteers going to Syria.
