Both al-Qaeda and ISIS have seen more than 25,000 Mujahideen which creates an "unprecedented threat to national and international security in both the “immediate and long-term” that most governments have failed to grasp the significance of so far."

The report made by the UN Security Council is based on "robust and detailed" evidence from 27 intelligence agencies across member states, which details a a dramatic change over the last three years in the number of Mujahideen joining militant Sunni groups--up from just a couple thousand a decade ago.

“The number of countries of origin has also significantly increased . . . from a small group of countries . . . to more than 100 member states, including countries that have never experienced problems with groups associated with al-Qaeda.”

“The trend line remains worrying,” the report adds, noting a 70 per cent increase in the total number of foreign fighters since March 2014. The problem is overwhelmingly focused on Iraq and Syria.

Turkey remains the country through which jihadis are gaining access to Syria and Iraq, along with the two groups. The global response has so far been inadequate, with one ex-spy chief saying that Islamic terrorism in the Middle East is the greatest security threat to Europe since the Cold War. The main barrier to international success against terrorism is the lack of intelligence sharing, as “less than 10 per cent of basic identifying information has made it into global multilateral systems to date.”

Oh. Speaking of! Even up here Meta. There's news of it. In Quebec, there's a university that's caught the police's attention as a hub for it.

“less than 10 per cent of basic identifying information has made it into global multilateral systems to date.”
