The Jerusalem Post reported Monday that jihadists are hiding among the Syrian refugees entering Europe.

Citing a report in the German newspaper, Bild am Sonntag, which credits the information to American intelligence that had “decod[ed] locked communications of the ISIS leadership,” Benjamin Weinthal writes:

The Bild am Sonntag wrote,“In view of the chaotic conditions on the Syria-Turkey border, it is nearly impossible to catch ISIS-terrorists in the wave of refugees.“ German security authorities estimate that 450 radical German Muslims have traveled in the direction of Syria. An official from Germany’s intelligence told The Jerusalem Post that it is difficult to track radical German Islamists leaving Germany for Syria because they do not need a visa to first land in Turkey. The southern Turkey border has been the principal point of entry into Syria for jihadists seeking to fight Assad’s regime and create a caliphate state.

Roughly 150 radical German Islamists have returned from Syria and are currently in Germany. The Federal Republic outlawed Islamic State activities last month. The Lebanese political militia Hezbollah has legal status for its so-called political wing in Germany.

While Bild am Sonntag reports that some 150 Islamists have returned to Germany, it also notes that there’s no evidence currently that “terrorists are already on the way to Germany or other Western European States.“

Another German newspaper Die Welt reported that “the number one goal for German jihadists is to fight in Syria.”
