[quote]To quote the testimony: “Jihadist from the IK play a pivotal role in the fighting in Syria, and leaders from the Caucasus command large numbers of Syrian and foreign fighters in several jihadist groups operating in the country”. But the IK’s history of fighting alongside al-Qaeda doesn’t begin in Syria. The prospect of trained and experienced jihadists training foreign fighters in how to conduct guerilla and terrorist tactics extends beyond just Chechen fighters inside Syria. This article is merely an attempt to showcase how Chechen fighters should be involved in the discussion of the implications of such a dire threat currently affecting the West. The need to combat this threat becomes even more important with such a diverse collection of trained and experienced jihadists training Western citizens. [/quote] What your thoughts on the Chechens in Syria? Do you have any thoughts on the implications of experienced fighters, like the Chechens, training Western citizens? Any thoughts on these Western citizens learning how to conduct guerrilla and terrorist tactics in their country of origin?
