Voice of America quotes NATOSource Director and Brent Scowcroft Center Senior Fellow Jorge Benitez on terrorist recruitment of foreign fighters:
Western nations, particularly in Europe, are wary that returning jihadists could carry out terrorist acts on their soil, says Jorge Benitez, a security and NATO expert at the Atlantic Council.
“The barbarity of the things they are learning – from beheadings to crucifixion – they are very concerned that these types of individuals will return to Europe, because they still have EU passports, and will start feeding this type of malignant fanaticism and violence in Europe,” said Benitez.
