As the waves of refugees from Syria pushed into Europe over the past few months, we have been told repeatedly that fears that terrorists were hiding in their midst were overblown. Here's a bit of news that puts that into proper context. The Daily Mail is reporting this:
So the head of an al Qaeda terror group who was deported from Italy to Tunisia when his prison term ended is back in Europe this time as a supposed "Syrian" refugee. This guy was caught because his data was on file due to his prior conviction for terrorist activities. How many more terrorists came into Europe and made it past the minimal security because they were not in the data bases? For that matter, how many have made their way into the USA in the same manner?
We probably will never know the answer to those questions. That is truly terrible.
The leader of an al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group was smuggled into Europe posing as a refugee trying to cross the Mediterranean, it has been claimed.
Mehdi Ben Nasr, 38, served seven years in jail for being the leader of a jihadi cell which recruited would-be suicide bombers in Europe and directed them to Iraq and Afghanistan.
We probably will never know the answer to those questions. That is truly terrible.
