‘Islamic State’Terrorists setting up terror training camps in Europe

secret training camps across Europe to prepare fighters to carry out “special forces style” attack

 

The so-called Islamic State terror group has set up secret training camps across Europe to prepare fighters to carry out “special forces style” attacks in the UK or other EU countries, Europol has warned.

The international police agency said apart from bases in Syria, the barbaric organization had “smaller scale training camps in the EU and Balkan countries”.

They would include survival training and sports activities to help terrorists prepare for “combat and interrogation resistance”.

ISIS could look to recruit refugees who have fled to Europe to launch terror attacks in the countries that have given them shelter, the agency said.

Europol refused to say in which countries the camps were suspected to have been set up but security and police sources last night said they were not aware of any in the UK.
