The UN has warned that terror group ISIS plan to carry out new attacks when lockdowns are eased. It is understood the terrorists hope to strike while Western countries are ‘weakened and distracted’ by the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to a Security Council report, the number of attacks in their heartland of Iraq and Syria ‘increased significantly’ in early 2020 compared to last year.
Analysts estimate there are some 10,000 active fighters in the Levant, with over 100 million dollars in cash to fund their atrocities.
Experts have also warned that a global recession would drive up ISIS recruitment, with many members joining to escape poverty across Europe and the Arab world.
