Terror threat in Europe 'as high as it's ever been,' officials say

Washington (CNN)-The terror threat in Europe is at as high a level as it's ever been, a U.S. official told CNN Wednesday, and nearly 2,000 foreign fighters who went to Iraq and Syria from Europe have returned home -- with some potentially plotting new attacks.
The latest European and U.S. estimates show as many as 1,900 of those foreign fighters are back in Europe after stints in Iraq and Syria, the official said. The estimate covers the last few years since intelligence services across the world began tracking these movements.
Most of the fighters returning -- but not all of them -- joined ISIS while in the terror group's self-declared caliphate and remain committed to the group. Others became disenchanted and fled back to Europe. It's not clear how many of those who returned are plotting new attacks, the official said.

"A significant portion of foreign fighters have been diagnosed with mental problems prior to joining" ISIS, the report explained.
Some U.S. officials say more attention needs to be paid to ISIS' death cult mentality and the use of its apocalyptic vision to recruit fighters who will specifically go to their death for the terror group.

Trump will be proven right soon. Letting them in is the error.
Europe is providing the room and board for the terrorists
Well I wonder WHY? Merel knows firsthand...
Let’s see. Import Islamists. Receive more Jihad. Check.
The problem with Trump’s plan is he said the ban would only be ‘temporary’. Any Muslim immigration ban should be permanent. As in, forever.
That said, none of the other candidates have a good plan either.
The more potential radicals you import the higher the odds of terror attacks. That is not politically correct, but facts are still facts.
sorry to say it, but Europeans deserve to reap the whirlwind.

The only way to cure that problem is to import more Muzzies, right?
Sorry Europe...your on your own. Blame Israel like you always do.
Yeah well the threat isn’t from Dutch youth or Irish Catholics.
Europe’s threat is the same as America’s, F-ing mooselimb scum like obammy.
Gee, who would have thought that?
Yes, a condition known as 'Islam'.
