Interpol circulates list of 173 suspected members of Isis suicide brigade

Source: The Guardian

Interpol has circulated a list of 173 Islamic State fighters it believes could have been trained to mount suicide attacks in Europe in revenge for the group’s military defeats in the Middle East.

The global crime fighting agency’s list was drawn up by US intelligence from information captured during the assault on Isis territories in Syria and Iraq.

European counter-terror networks are concerned that as the Isis “caliphate” collapses, there is an increasing risk of determined suicide bombers seeking to come to Europe, probably operating alone.

There is no evidence that any of the people on the list, whose names the Guardian has obtained, have yet entered Europe, but the Interpol circulation, designed to see if EU intelligence sources have any details on the individuals, underlines the scale of the challenge facing Europe.

Whereas if one of these scumbags tries to get into the US via airplanes, they will be arrested immediately. Plus if they will stick out like a sore thumb if try to go across Mexico. They will be either robbed and/or murdered because they are carrying lots of cash and the drug cartels don't want to risk having more security on the border than their already is.

(Rome). These are religious nuts trying to interpret ancient prophecy.

Watch Jack Van Impe for a variation on the method.

IMO Putins government sent out the original IS, the ones with the convoy of new Toyota pick-ups and now the 'movement' has grown into what the world has today.

Putins the one CURRENT country that destabilizes other countries using IS type attacks.
