Half of European jihadists in Iraq and Syria are 'French'
2015-04-10
[ARA] Nearly half of European Death Eaters known to have travelled to territory held by the holy warrior 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....
in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group are French, a report by the country's upper house Senate revealed Wednesday.
95 percent are Mohs or Abduls. The occasional Jean-Francois is in the same category as the guys in togas who hung around with the Ostrogoths.
Just over 1,430 French people have made their way to Iraq and Syria, representing 47 per cent of Death Eaters from Europe that are known and accounted for, Senator Jean-Pierre Sueur, who spearheaded a parliamentary probe into holy warrior networks, told news hounds.

According to Sueur, French domestic intelligence services are currently monitoring more than 3,000 people
...that's an awful lot of people to keep track of round the clock and round the calendar...
suspected of being involved in one way or another in Syrian networks -- a 24 per cent increase since November last year.

Some 85 Frenchies are thought to have died in ISIS-held zones while two are being held in Syria, the report said.

Of particular concern to intelligence services, some 200 have left to come back to La Belle France, prompting fears they may stage attacks mirroring the Jan 7-9 shooting spree that left 17 dead.

Sueur added that 152 Islamist turbans were currently in prison in La Belle France.

Authorities are worried about prison radicalisation and have unveiled a raft of measures to try and fight this, such as hiring an extra 60 Moslem chaplains on top of the 182 who already work in jails.
