Will American Jihad In Syria Lead To A Future 9/11?
2014-06-02
[Ynet] As many as 11,000 foreigners are fighting in Syrian civil war today; 3,000 of them come from Western countries. Intelligence officials fear training they received from terror groups will help them carry out attacks in their countries of origin upon their return.

The first suicide kaboom of an American in Syria has created a renewed debate on the growing presence of imported muscle in the civil war, and the danger it poses to Western countries.

According to intelligence officials, more than 70 Americans have arrived in Syria in order to fight against Bashir al-Assad's regime. One of them, Moner Mohammad Abusalha, became last week the first American jacket wallah in the country.

Possible scenarios of new Qaeda-led international insurgencies, + 9-11-style attacks agz the US, cannot be discounted.
