According
to Buzzfeed, an Islamic State operative has confirmed the infiltration of more
than 4000 covert Islamic gunmen into Europe. Much of this occurred
through the sparsely guarded 565 mile border with Turkey. Apparently local
smugglers were used to traverse the border, after which the trained terrorists
take advantage European Union good will, presenting themselves as asylum
seekers.
These
new revelations add to BBC reports last May which described the smuggling of
refugees into Europe. Libya, a country in chaos with no stable
government, has provided an environment for traffickers to thrive, providing an
avenue into Italy from the south.
According
to the BBC report, at that time Egypt's ambassador to the UK warned of
"boats full of terrorists" if the international community does not
act. The Italian government also expressed fears of militants infiltrating
boats intended for humanitarian aid.
Author's note: Considering how dangerous even a small
group of terrorists can be, this is a devastating security situation for the
European Union. You can assume the following:
1. They are well trained and will work in isolated
"cells' of 3 to 5 each. That means over 800 independent and secure operating units.
2. They will have access to large amounts of cash, and the resources to do
what they need to do. The Islamic State is large and well supported.
3.
Their leadership will know how to orchestrate them, when they hit it will seem like World War III.
4.
Europe is home 44 million Muslims. Coordination of attacks be multiple
terrorist cells would cause a wave of
sympathy violence among normally moderate Muslims.
