"The terror threat in Europe is at as high a level as it's ever been, a U.S. official told CNN
Wednesday, and nearly 2,000 foreign fighters who went to Iraq and Syria from Europe have returned home -- with some potentially plotting new attacks.
The latest European and U.S. estimates show as many as 1,900 of those foreign fighters are back in Europe after stints in Iraq and Syria, the official said. The estimate covers the last few years since intelligence services across the world began tracking these movements.
Most of the fighters returning -- but not all of them -- joined ISIS while in the terror group's self-declared caliphate and remain committed to the group. Others became disenchanted and fled back to Europe." CNN
