| #3 So we do have an International Brigade fighting in Syria. I wondered how long it would take. I was hoping this would siphon off some of the crazies tormenting Iraq but apparently that is not going to happen. I had some good times in Iraq and made some dear friends. I am very saddened by the continuous upheaval and discord there. |

| #2 al Nustra has, as of early 2013, about 6000 active fighters and it is thought that the majority of al Nustra is comprised of non Syrian jihadists in Syria That being said, it is possible that as many as 500 Euro jihadists are there but, if it is more, it is not likely to be many more. |
