Lebanese education minister Elias Bousaab met the Prime Minister during his lightning visit to the region and warned him that IS is sending trained jihadists ‘under cover’ to attack targets in the West, and that two in every 100 Syrian migrants smuggled into Europe are Islamic State-trained fanatics. If true, it could mean up to 400 of the 20,000 refugees Britain has promised to accept by 2020 have been radicalised. Mr. Bousaab said the extremists choose targets, including children, in refugee camps and schools before trafficking them into Europe via Turkey and Greece. On his first visit to Lebanon, the PM said that without aid, hundreds of thousands more people could attempt the perilous crossing into Europe. Bousaab said, ‘IS will not stop at the border with Lebanon, before you know it IS will be in Europe.’ He warned that without more help for those in the refugee camps people with ‘no hope, no work, no education’ and who are poor are ‘easy to recruit’.
