In light of the Jubilee, intelligence agencies' attention to the threat of terrorism is increasing in Rome. Of course, the Vatican tops the list of sensitive targets. Over the years, counter-terrorism efforts have been concentrated here because it is considered a target for jihadists, to the point where Isis, during the Caliphate between Syria and Iraq, even dedicated one of the covers of Dabiq (the glossy magazine that the terrorist organization distributed on the web) to it, with St. Peter's Square and the black flag of Daesh hoisted on the obelisk. However, also the capital is a target for terrorist organizations since it has numerous significant Western cultural sites. Even the Colosseum "continues to be considered, by the rhetoric of the area, a privileged objective of conquest in the heart of unbelieving Europe", according to the Italian 007s. The institutional buildings include the seat of government and Parliament, as well as embassies and houses of worship for various religions. According to some estimates, Rome has about 4,000 critical targets. Top-level objectives include synagogues and Jewish cultural centers. Security services have been enhanced, and the emphasis is on the maximum.
