| Interpol: Terrorists Are Using Coronavirus Pandemic to Increase ‘Power and Influence' |
| 2020-12-24 |
| [Breitbart] Interpol, a global organization linking the world’s law enforcement entities, warned in a report announced Tuesday that global terrorist organizations and "non-state actors" were attempting to take advantage of the chaos surrounding the Chinese coronavirus pandemic to become more influential. Interpol noted that the full report was "for law enforcement use only," but in its statement on the report’s completion asserted that the organization had reason to be concerned about the benefits the pandemic may have created for terrorist organizations. "Early in the pandemic, certain terrorist groups and other NSAs [non-state actors] used the pandemic to reinforce their power and influence, particularly among local populations, or to expand their external financial resources," Interpol warned. "The report also highlights how the impact of COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus] on the global economy is likely to indirectly affect funding available to terrorist organizations." Interpol stated its report also found reason to believe extreme lockdown measures implemented to prevent the spread of the virus could aid terrorist organizations by triggering "civil unrest." "As COVID-19 cases subside in some regions and surge in others, the report underlines the critical need to monitor the reaction and response by terrorist networks, violent extremist groups, and other potentially dangerous NSAs," Interpol noted. The Interpol public release on the report bizarrely identified "far-right supporters" in the West as a major cause of concern regarding terrorism exacerbated by the pandemic. |

| #1 That's an odd way to refer to democrat governors. But, apparently, right on the money. |
