ISIS threatens to send 500,000 migrants from Libya to Europe as a 'psychological weapon'

Separately, the militants hope to cement their control of Libya then cross the Mediterranean disguised as refugees, according to letters seen by Quilliam the anti-terror group

ISIS threatens sending 500,000 migrants to Europe as a 'psychological weapon' in chilling echo of Gaddafi's prophecy that the Mediterranean 'will become a sea of chaos'

Italian press today published claims that ISIS has threatened to release the huge wave of migrants to cause chaos in Europe if they are attacked

And letters from jihadists show plans to hide terrorists among refugees In 2011, Muammar Gaddafi ominously predicted war would come to Libya

He was deposed in a violent coup and killed in October

Islamic State executed 21 Egyptian Christians on Libyan beach this week Crisis in Libya has led to surge in number of migrants heading for Europe

ISIS has threatened to flood Europe with half a million migrants from Libya in a 'psychological' attack against the West, it was claimed today.

Transcripts of telephone intercepts published in Italy claim to provide evidence that ISIS is threatening to send 500,000 migrants simultaneously out to sea in hundreds of boats in a 'psychological weapon' against Europe if there is military intervention against them in Libya.

Many would be at risk of drowning with rescue services unable to cope. But authorities fear that if numbers on this scale arrived, European cities could witness riots.

Breaking point: The officials at Lampedusa airport are struggling to process the 1,200 newly arrived migrants in a reception centre built for a third of that number - and now Islamic State has threatened to send 500,000 to Europe's shores

Escape: Today, the spread of violence and extremism in Libya has forced thousands to flee to Italy where officials are struggling to deal with the sudden influx

Haven’t ISIS done their diversity training? Don’t they know that Europe loves immigrants? They enrich us and strengthen us. How on earth can this be a threat? Or perhaps ISIS know something we don’t?

I bet they’re in talks with our president to send another 500,000 here, as a psychological weapon.

Very simple - refuse these airplanes the right to enter their airspace and if they do - shoot them down.
