Two in every 100 Syrian migrants smuggled into Europe are Islamic State-trained fanatics, David Cameron was warned yesterday.
Lebanese education minister Elias Bousaab, who met the Prime Minister during his lightning visit to the region, said the extremist group is sending trained jihadists ‘under cover’ to attack targets in the West.
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.
He added that Isis is posing a worsening threat by ‘growing and mushrooming’.
