150 Swedes have joined ISIS in Iraq and Syria says Swedish intelligence

 

(IraqiNew.com) The Swedish intelligence Agency acknowledged the presence of 150 Swedish with the terrorist organization of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

The Associated Press quoted Anders Cassam, the head of the operations room in the Swedish intelligence service, as saying, “The real number of the Swedes fighters estimated 150 people,” warning that this number is growing at a fast pace.

Last August, the Swedish security services indicated that 80 Swedes have joined terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq, while Swedish intelligence chief ,Anders Thornburg  pointed out earlier that there were about two hundred people supporting or willing and able to carry out “terrorist attacks” in Sweden.

It is noteworthy that the American intelligence agencies recently raised its estimates of the number of ISIS terrorists in Syria and Iraq to be between 20000 and 31500 compared to its previous estimates last June, which indicated that the number amounted to only 10 thousand terrorists.
