FSB: there is a danger of the revival of the IS terrorist group in the Maghreb and the Sahel
New York , USA , June 20, 2023, 19:43 - IA Regnum. There is a real danger of the reincarnation of the Islamic State terrorist group (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) in the northwest and west of Africa. This was stated on June 20 by Deputy Director of the FSB of Russia Igor Sirotkin at the High-Level Conference of the Heads of Counter-Terrorist Structures of the UN Member States.
“The territories of the Maghreb and the Sahel are turning into the epicenter of the Islamist terrorist threat, creating a real danger of the “reincarnation” of ISIS in the version of the “African caliphate,” Sirotkin said.
He added that despite the military defeat of international terrorism in the Middle East, the situation there remains tense. First of all, this concerns the north and northeast of Syria.
He also pointed out that the movement of foreign terrorists in the flows of illegal migration from the south to Europe is of serious concern.
As IA Regnum reported , Sirotkin said that there was a real threat that terrorists would be able to acquire means of radioactive and chemical destruction. According to him, the problem remains all the more acute when state sponsors are involved in this, interested in destabilizing the political situation in one or another part of the world.

FSB: There is a threat of terrorists getting means of radioactive and chemical destruction
New York , USA , June 20, 2023, 19:33 - IA Regnum. There is a real threat that terrorists will be able to acquire means of radioactive and chemical destruction. This was stated on June 20 by Deputy Director of the FSB Igor Sirotkin at the High-Level Conference of the Heads of Counter-Terrorist Structures of the UN Member States.
“We note the emergence of a real threat that terrorist organizations will be able to acquire means of radioactive and chemical destruction,” Sirotkin said.
He stressed that the problem is all the more acute when state sponsors are involved in this, interested in destabilizing the political situation in one or another part of the world.
According to the deputy head of the FSB, such a short-sighted approach leads to the fact that weapons of destruction spread uncontrollably through the black market and are used for terrorist purposes.
He added that the world community needs to take coordinated measures to counter the attempts of international terrorists to use scientific and technological achievements in the field of geolocation, satellite communications, air weapons, including drones.
As IA Regnum reported , Sirotkin drew attention to the problem of recruiting members of international terrorist organizations to deliver them to Ukraine and subsequent infiltration into the Russian Federation. According to him, militants are moving to Europe from the south along with illegal migration flows, which is a serious concern given the resurgence of neo-Nazi ideas in some countries.
