Reuven Paz, JC Brisard Weigh in on Iraq's Foreign Fighters
2005-11-30
Counterterrorism Blog link. Had some interesting correspondence on the Saudis and the makeup of foreign jihadis. Excerpt:
According to the latest figures I've obtained from a European intel agency, as of September 2005, 150 European fighters had been located, arrested or killed in Iraq... 90% of the terrorist attacks in Iraq were carried out or led by foreign fighters.

Of course those are who have been identified as from Europe. Those killed without passports or love letters addressed to their favorite goat probably will be passed off as Iraqi or from their ethnic homeland.
