Show me any statistics that show that refugees from Syria are related to ISIS
Preliminary Findings Finding 1: Islamist terrorists are determined to infiltrate refugee flows to enter the West—and appear to already have done so in Europe. • At least one terrorist responsible for the Paris attacks is suspected of having entered Europe through refugee flows. • In the days leading up to the Paris attacks, officials in Europe warned that ISIS was deliberately targeting these routes.1 2 • Warnings have been mounting that ISIS is focused on deploying operatives to the West, especially Europe. A French citizen who returned from Syria said the war zone had become “a factory of jihadists trained to hit France and Europe in the very near future,” according to a report in recent weeks from France’s Justice Ministry.2 • Syrian refugees have also reported sporadically that they have witnessed suspected ISIS fighters in their midst.3 • An international terrorism research organization published a bulletin in September warning that there were already a number of reported cases of ISIS infiltration of refugee routes.4 Recent warning signs have raised concerns that ISIS and other Islamist terrorist groups have been attempting to infiltrate refugee flows: • In October 2015, Germany was reportedly investigating 10 cases of suspected terrorists posing as Syrian refugees or committing war crimes abroad.5 • Hungarian police said they arrested a Syrian man suspected of being associated with Islamist extremists and starting a border riot.6 • German authorities are reportedly investigating whether a Syrian asylum-seeker in northeast Germany fought for ISIS in Syria.7 • A Turkey-based document forger interviewed as part of a British media outlet investigation said ISIS operatives are using fake identification to travel to Europe among the refugee and migrant flows.8 • Lebanon’s Education Minister said on September 14, 2015, he believed that ISIS is facilitating its operatives infiltration into Europe using refugee flows.9 • Bulgarian authorities said they arrested five Albanians suspected of ISIS links after they attempted to illegally cross the Macedonia-Bulgaria border.10 • The European Union’s top prosecutor Michele Coninsx said on July 6, 2015, she had received information indicating ISIS operatives were entering Europe via migrant boats.11 • Italian counter-terrorism official Bruno Megale said on May 20, 2015, that a suspected terrorist linked to the ISIS-claimed Bardo Museum attack in Tunisia arrived in Italy via a migrant boat.12 • An advisor to the Libyan government said on May 17, 2015, he believed ISIS fighters were being snuck into Europe based on conversations he had with migrant smugglers in North Africa.13 • A Libyan ISIS propagandist reportedly discussed the prospect of funneling jihadists from Syria and Iraq to Libya and eventually into Europe via migrant boats.14 • A Turkey-based ISIS operative and two smugglers said they had helped infiltrate jihadists into Europe by smuggling them among refugees traveling by boat.15 • A German newspaper reported in October 2014 that ISIS leaders intended to smuggle operatives into Europe by exploiting refugee flows.16
