The Centre on Religion and Geopolitics said efforts to wipe out Isis in Syria and Iraq would not end the global threat from jihadi groups because extremist views were common among Syrian fighters of all stripes. At least 15 militias, numbering 65,000 fighters, could fill any vacuum resulting from a defeat of Isis in Syria and Iraq by a coalition led by the US, a report by the thinktank found. About 60 percent of fighters in rebel factions in Syria identified with a religious and political ideology similar to that of the terror group, it added. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK" group.
