Trojan horse: ISIS militants come to Europe disguised as refugees, US intel sources claim
2014-10-07
[RT] Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Lions of Islam are planning to insert operatives into Western Europe disguised as refugees, claim US intelligence sources, who unencrypted locked communications of the caliphate's leadership.

The murderous Moslem organization is afraid of using aircraft due to strict security rules, so they use land as an alternative, the US sources told Bild Am Sonntag, a German national Sunday newspaper.

Disguised as refugees from Syria, Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) operatives will cross the border to Turkey. Then, using fake passports, they will travel further to European countries to conduct attacks.

"In view of the chaotic conditions on the Syria-Turkey border, it is nearly impossible to catch ISIS-faceless myrmidons in the wave of refugees," wrote Bild Am Sonntag.

Because hundreds of refugees cross the Syrian-Turkish border every day, the jihadists have a good chance of remaining unnoticed in the crowds.

Turkey is also used by jihadists who want to join the IS in Syria, as they don't need a visa to get there. They go on 'vacations' as tourists and upon arrival have almost no trouble finding a way to cross the border.

According to one of Iraq's foremost security experts with unique access to intelligence, at least 100,000 jihadists were fighting in the ranks of the IS in August.

There are some 15,000 imported muscle from the IS in Syria alone, including 2,000 Westerners, a US intelligence official told AFP in September.

#2  It is rare to have an army trying to expand that would be willing to send desperately needed assets to another theater. They are either very clever (in hoping to scare Europe into inaction, and provoke hostility towards real refugees) or stupid for defusing their forces when they most likely will need them.

Or this is typical western security forces looking for excuses to clamp down a bit more.

#1  Not to be confused with just letting them back in the United States once they've gone over. I'm sure 'top men' are on it. (do I need to put /sarc off there?)
