ISIS terrorists are arriving in Europe in the guise of refugees


Fears have been expressed in certain quarters that ISIS is 'spreading like cancer' and terrorists in the guise of refugees are arriving in Europe. This has been revealed by a US General who is the Commander of NATO's European unit. In his opinion, the arrival of thousands of migrants in to the continent is 'masking the movement' of violent extremists, criminals and foreign fighters.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 1 March 2016.
The US Air Force General has informed the Senate Armed Services Committee that these dangerous elements heightened the potential for a terror attack. Within this mix of people from different background, ISIS is 'taking advantage of paths of least resistance and is a threat to European nations as well as the United States.
The General has asked for more U.S. forces to be permanently based in Europe because it is facing threats from a more aggressive Russia as well as the ISIS. His requirement is for Army troops that could be ready to respond quickly to any crisis or military need. The Pentagon has decreased the number of US forces in Europe over the last several years, and has, instead, shifted focus to the Asia Pacific while fighting continues in the Middle East. However, in view of the increasing threats from Russia and ISIS questions are being raised about those decisions.
It is estimated that about 6,000 foreign fighters have left to join the fight in Syria and Iraq, and out of that, some 1,500 of them have returned to Europe. As per information of the International Organization for Migration, almost 130,000 migrants - or, more than 2,000 each day - have reached Europe by sea since the beginning of this year and 418 have died in the attempts, most drowning in the cold, rough waters. This means that the number of arrivals in the first two months of 2016 is more than 11 times as many as the same period last year.
