A new report from the United Nations on ISIS estimates that despite the “defeat” of the group in both Iraq and Syria, somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 ISIS fighters remain in the two countries, roughly half of them in each.
Having lost all towns and cities, ISIS has mostly sent its fighters into the deserts along the Iraq-Syria border. They are in Anbar Province in Iraq and Deir Ezzor Province in Syria, where the deserts make it easy to cross back and forth at will.
The UN report suggested that a lot of the leadership is being relocated to Afghanistan, where they estimate several thousand ISIS are active, mostly in eastern Afghanistan. In addition, the report suggested a few thousand ISIS are present in Libya.
The report noted ISIS has shown “greater resilience” than expected, and foreign fighters aren’t as inclined to leave the group as was assumed. Instead, a lot of the foreign fighters are being diverted to Afghanistan, where ISIS appears to believe it has more favorable chances.
Determined Islamic terrorists willing to fight any where in the world for Allah . These are the rebels the United states supported in Yugoslavia , Iraq , Libya and Syria now they can go home or help out in Afghanistan . If they should go to Afghanistan which side do you think they will fight on ? Will they next fight under a new name or will they keep one of their old names KLA, ALQaida ALNUSRA , ISIS or a 100 other Martyr names . These guys wish to die fighting for Allah . That is why many countries don’t want them back into their country These guys love to kill a lot of people before they die The more infidoles they kill the more points they believe they will receive in heaven . IF they are out in the desert away from the cities that should be the best place for the infideles to confront them .The United States has made a long time practice of arming and using these radical extremists to over throw foreign regimes . These guys have been said to be America ground forces while we provide air support . Other countries have told the USA . That we should not arm and use these Islamic extremists because once you get them started they are not easy to stop .
Mercenaries for hire, send them to Israel and the US.
