		</div><p>Italy has expelled 64 suspected Islamic extremists in 2015 and monitored 90 foreign fighters as part of stepped-up measures to prevent attacks on its soil.</p>
<p>Interior minister Angelino Alfano provided the statistics at an end-of-year press conference.</p>
<p>He said the latest expulsion, on Monday, involved a 30-year-old Moroccan living in Bologna who allegedly backed the Islamic State group on social media.</p>
<p>Mr Alfano said such people are expelled when prosecutors do not have enough evidence to arrest them.</p>
<p>He said 18 of the 90 foreign fighters under surveillance had died overseas.</p>
<p>On immigration, Mr Alfano said 144,200 migrants had disembarked in Italy in 2015, all but 71 of them setting off from Libya.</p>
<p>Italy granted asylum to 42% of the 66,266 people who requested protection in 2015, he added.</p>
