| Entering an already target rich environment [ARA News] QAMISHLI – Since the emergence of the extremist Islamic State group (ISIS), thousands of westerners have joined its ranks. The Western governments expressed fear of the returnee jihadists, who could carry out attacks against European and American interests in their countries. The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) said Friday that some 125 Danish citizens have joined ISIS since the group declared its alleged caliphate in Syria and Iraq. “Since the summer of 2012, nearly 125 Danish citizens have left the country to join radical groups in Iraq and Syria, and those who have returned could carry out attacks,” PET said in a statement. The agency’s Center for Terror Analysis (CTA) warned that “the number can be higher” than expected. The CTA indicated that the majority of those who have left Denmark to fight for ISIS are young Sunni Muslims and up to ten percent of them are women. The conflict in Syria and Iraq is a major threat to Denmark, according to PET. Among the returnees, there are individuals who can pose a terror threat. They can carry out terror attacks individually or at the request or instruction from terror groups. More at the link |
