Jihad 3.3: The threat of [the fighters ] returning (DIEEEA46-2016)

The conflicts in Syria and Iraq have inspired many individuals around the globe to become foreign fighters (FFs) (almost 30.000 and among them 5.000 Europeans). Some of them (near to 20%) are beginning to re¬turn home,  they are the so called «returnees». Some of these returnees carried out the recent terrorist attacks in Europe (Paris, November 2015 and Brussels, April 2016). Several countries have begun to adopt measures in order to address the challenges posed by FFs. But these measures have to be not only legal and repressive, but also include a counter narrative in order to neutralize extremist´s ideologies.
