Supporters of the so-called Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) have been posting photographs allegedly taken in Italian cities, including the capital Rome, accompanied with threatening messages.

The pictures, whose authenticity cannot be independently confirmed, show police vehicles, public places and landmarks next to a bit of paper held in front of a camera. The paper has the Islamic State logo on it, the hashtagged phrase ‘Islamic State in Rome’ and an ominous message in Italian, saying “we are in your streets.”

Judging from the background, most of the pictures weren’t actually taken in Rome but in Milan. The city’s cathedral is visible in one of them, and the venues of Expo Milano 2015 in several others.

However one photograph allegedly shows the Colosseum in Rome.
