The expected deluge of Afghan migrants will jeopardies security in both Europe and the US experts have warned.
David Otto, counter-terrorism and defence specialist and director of the Geneva Centre for Africa Security & Strategic Studies warned that:
“There is little that is being done” to secure Europe from Daesh (Islamic State)-linked sleeper cells. According to him, “Europe and the West are at high risk of terrorist attack from individuals who have sneaked themselves into the country posing as affiliated to Western powers involved in the occupation of Afghanistan over the last 20 years.
Sputnik reported that Otto cautioned:
“[One] can only rely on documents and previous records”, he explains. “With the collapse of the Afghanistan government there has been concerns of people faking documents to make it through. This is one of the reasons the US has taken steps to process individuals from third party countries to control the risk. Despite these measures, groups like ISIS-K* [Daesh-K] and al-Qaeda will encourage its sympathizers to beat the system”.
Despite these concerns from international security experts the Irish government is forging ahead with plans to bring Afghan migrants to Ireland.
