ISIS are targeting refugee camps and asylum centres for new recruits

Germany’s intelligence service president Hans-Georg Maassen says spooks have recorded more than 300 attempts to recruit refugees as jihadists.
And he fears the real total could be much higher.

He told local media: “There are more than 340 cases known to us of radical Islamists targeting refugees for new recruits.”

He added: “But as these are the only ones that have been monitored by us, it is likely the true number of cases is much higher.”

Agents have briefed asylum centre staff on how to identify recruiters and how to monitor refugees who are most at risk.

Maassen explained: “It is well known that among the asylum seekers there are many young Sunni males who often come from a conservative Islamic environment.

Many mosques in Germany are run by ultra-conservative Sunni salafist groups.

Maassen explained: “Those mosques are the starting point for radicalisation.”

He added: “This is dangerous. That is why we have a large number of Islamists taken under observation.”

But even more difficult, added the spy chief, is trying to track down jihadists’ communications through social media.
