“Hundreds” of individuals from Latin America and the Caribbean have traveled to Syria and Iraq to join the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) and other Sunni extremist groups, according to U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM).

SOUTHCOM Commander Adm. Kurt Tidd, who oversees U.S security in Latin American and the Caribbean, spoke to reporters earlier this month about the ISIS threat to his area of responsibility (AOR).

“I would say it’s in the hundreds, and right now, I want to be very, very careful to caveat the confirmed numbers that we continue to talk to is… between 100, 150 range,” he told reporters on March 10, referring to the number of individuals from Latin America and the Caribbean who have traveled to join ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
