Germany: EU “jihadists” in Syria mount to 1000

The Interior Minister of Germany Hans Peter Friedrich stressed yesterday that “dozens of German guys have headed to Syria to fight beside the foreign-backed militants against the Syrian government.”

(AP) quoted Friedrich as saying that “60 German terrorists are in Syria now,” uncovering the German’s government fears of those insurgents who undergo trainings in al-Qaeda-run camps.

He said that German authorities should oversee those people after they get back to Germany, pointing out that the number of the people who headed from EU states to Syria estimated at 1000 people.
