These European countries providers fighters in Iraq and Syria

The number of European fighters went to the front in Syria and Iraq nearly doubled in one year. These are the findings of a survey conducted by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence (ICSR) at Kings College London.

In the "Top 3" of European countries purveyors of fighters, France is in the lead, followed by the United Kingdom and Germany. The figures given by TONI are impressive. According to him, in one year (between December 2013 and December 2014 -ndlr), the number of French soldiers who joined Syria and Iraq to fight against the regime of Bashar al-Assad and / or swell the ranks of the State Group Islamic nearly tripled, bringing the number of parties to the French "Jihad" to 12 000. Germany has about 600, like the UK.

But if France is ahead in numerical terms, in proportion to the overall population, with almost 300 of its nationals who come to Iraq and Syria, Belgium, with 38 million inhabitants, is the not in France.

The number of European recruits in Syria has exceeded 15,000 combatants, but what also concerned for months European governments is the return of these fighters in their country.

These attacks by Kouachi brothers is the worst ever perpetrated in France for more than half a century.

Another example. Mid-January, a Belgian police raid against a suspected terrorist cell killed two people. Jihadists freshly income of Syria were about to commit a major attack in Belgium.

Counter jihadist indoctrination has become one of the priorities of European governments. Three weeks after the attacks in Paris, the French Interior Ministry has launched a website - http://ift.tt/15NHema - dressed in a shock video directly addressing potential recruits Islamic State group. The message: "They tell you: sacrifice yourself with us, you will defend a just cause. In fact, you'll discover hell on earth and die alone away from home.

Some even ask their governments to go further. The Grand Mufti of Bosnia, for example, urged his authorities to deprive of Bosnian nationality Islamist fighters gone to war "for the account of other States."

The religious leader actually just asked a strict application of the law. Because last year, to fight against departures increasing number of fighters to Syria and Iraq, Bosnia had adopted a new law prohibiting its nationals to go fight overseas. A text provides for the forfeiture of Bosnian nationality "volunteers (...) in foreign forces," but this sanction has so far never been pronounced, despite arrests of jihadists believed to have fought in Iraq or Syria or recruiting jihadists.
