Rome, July 4 (IANS/AKI) Italy's hardline Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said on Thursday he had signed deportation orders for three alleged Islamic extremists, vowing "zero tolerance" for jihadists.

"I have signed expulsion orders for three Islamic extremists. Zero tolerance for those who want to bring war onto our soil," Salvini wrote on Facebook, adding a photo showing him signing documents at his desk at the Interior Ministry.
