Danish Syria Fighters 'on Benefits while Fighting for IS'
|
Wouldn't want them to be a burden in their hosts... | [AnNahar] Denmark paid unemployment benefits to 28 people while they were waging war for the 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....
(IS) group in Syria, the Danish intelligence service was quoted as saying on Thursday.
Out of the 28 Danish people identified by the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) as having received benefits, 15 had been ordered to pay the money back, eight people were still being investigated, and five cases had been dropped due to insufficient evidence, tabloid BT reported.
"It is incredibly important that we are not naive," Danish Justice Minister Mette Frederiksen told the daily when asked about the data, which was found by merging records kept by different authorities.
Denmark has one of the world's most generous unemployment insurance systems, with those on the scheme receiving up to 801 kroner per day (108 euros, $134) for up to two years.
However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth...
some of the jihadists were on a significantly more modest basic unemployment benefit also paid in Denmark.
Denmark has the second largest number of imported muscle in Syria relative to its size among Western nations, after Belgium, according to some estimates.
The Danish intelligence service has said "more than 100" Danes have left the country for Syria's bloody civil war, but a Danish commentator on Middle Eastern affairs, Naser Khader, said he believed the estimate -- from June -- was higher and needed to be revised upwards.
"The figure is rising in many other countries, so why should that not be the case in Denmark?" he told the Berlingske newspaper.
Germany's intelligence agency said last week it believes 550 Germans have joined krazed killer groups in Syria and Iraq. Authorities had previously estimated the number at 450.
Britannia believes around 500 of its citizens are fighting for IS.
