WASHINGTON – Fearful that Islamic State fighters – many from the North Caucasus – will return to their homeland and wage jihad in the Russian Federation, Moscow now is focusing its military action in Syria on killing those potential sources of bombings, shootings and massacres, according to a new report in Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.
But a Russian official has told G2 Bulletin that there is another, more immediate, concern – of jihadist fighters coming from Afghanistan and infiltrating Russia through Central Asia.
And a U.S. military intelligence source independently has confirmed to G2 Bulletin what the Russian official said, because he’s already seeing the Russians taking action to make sure there is a buffer between ISIS in Afghanistan and Russia.
That would be by exerting its influence in the northern part of the country.
Both officials insisted on anonymity to speak about the issue.
“Our concern is that ISIS is increasing in Afghanistan and could enter through Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and then through Kazakhstan where the borders are virtually unprotected,” the Russian official said.
The Russian said ISIS is training militants from Russia in Afghanistan and there are an increasing number of foreign fighters providing the training. He added that among the captured or killed ISIS fighters, some had American and British passports.
