Over 3,000 European terrorists fighting in Syria and Iraq
EU Counter-terrorism Coordinator Gilles de Kerchove said the number of European terrorists who went to Syria to fight among terrorist organizations there is estimated at 3 thousands. Last July, Kerchove said the number was around 2 thousands.
He told the AFP that the flow of European terrorists to Syria and Iraq has not declined, adding that about 20-30% of those terrorists have returned to their countries and many of them pose threat to their home countries.
