We are seeing many Isis fighters returning home and disappearing into the population.  There will likely be many more incidents and bombings in Europe.

We had a pipe bomb detonate in Anaheim today too, no injuries luckily. Not sure if it's connected, but you never know these days. http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2016/03/27/bomb-squad-investigating-explosion-in-santa-ana-no-injuries/#.VvhZGnnpj3c.twitter
 Side note, the link city isn't supposed to say Santa Ana. This is very near Downtown Anaheim.
Be prepared! It may be time....^_^v

If only 1% of the 2.000.000 refugee-influx into the EU in 2015 had anything to do with IS you are talking about 20.000 possible jihadi's. The governments claim all the refugees are trying to get away from IS but they no better, there is no way to avoid IS-terrorists coming in with the refugees. 

Now IS is being cornered in Iraq and Syria, Turkey and Saudi Arabia (but proberbly also other countries) are "sending"known fighters outside their borders. Some of them end up in other war-zones; Pakistan/India, Libya, Ukraine, Afghanistan, West-Africa, Egypt. But some of those fighters will end up as "refugees" in Europe. 

Belgium has a federal government, 4 regional governments (for the Dutch, French, German-speaking population and Brussels). Brussels alone has 19 municipalities and 6 police-districts. The authorities in Belgium have a big problem in communications. 

After the Brussels Airport Zaventem attack at 08 hrs local time at 8.51 the metro was supposed to be shut down-but the decission did not reach the workfloor in time so around 9.10 hrs 20 people were killed in the Brussels metro. 

The Flemish-government missed the national memorial because the federal government failed to inform the flemish government. 

The justice-system in Belgium still mostly do not work with computers. 

Turkey did send a known jihadi to Belgium (via the Netherlands) but a Belgian civil servant failed to send the Turkish warning to Belgium for a month. 

With open borders and different laws on fire-arms, wide spread availability of heavy weapons from the Yugoslavia and Ukraine wars heavy weapons can be transported and get hold of without huge problems. 

IS (maybe to be seen as a private KSA (and Erdogan ?) army) can communicate from their Mosul Iraq HQ and coordinate command attacks in the EU with western ICT. 

If IS want to turn western Europe in a war zone the lack of communication and coordination in western Europe by the governments, the lack of political will to understand the problem, is an "open door" for IS. 

Both the US and Russia have national organizations that can work all over their countries. Europol in the EU is just one other leg of a buraucracy. 

To make things worse quite a lot of returning IS-terrorists have family in the EU welcoming them, communities that have lossed trust in police and governments. It is quite easy for terror-cells to hide. Germany proberbly has most of IS cells but so far it has been relative quiet there.

The numbers are much greater and as I went over my independent news sources to day there is a near vacuum of real news of the mainstream. Will post a thread on this.

For now - we could be talking more like 400 Isis fighters in Europe ready to launch attacks.

For me the number of 400 to 600 "fighters"sounds realistic. There were estimates that to 200 "fighters" could have been involved by the preparations for the Paris-november attacks. The average "cell"during an attack is 4-5 terrorists. 

But those terrorists need people for preparations, seeking targets, following persons, getting weapons, explosives, communications etc. 


Belgium has recently become the main supplier of jihadi fighters to Syria and Iraq and and an important logistical hub of militants operating in Europe. Only according to the information provided by the Belgian authorities, some 380 Belgian citizens arrived Syria to in order to join ISIS. This makes Belgium the most jihadi-infiltrated country in the EU with 34 militants per 1 million citizens. For instance, these numbers in Germany and France are 22,3 and 18,1 ISIS members per 1 million citizens.
