In
its most recent gruesome video, ISIS made 22 of its members behead what
they claimed was a group of Syrian army officers and pilots. But this
time, with the notable exception of British leader Jihad John, the
executioners showed their faces. At least one of them was Asian. Some
others were white. Two French citizens are thought to be in that video,
among other nationalities.
The message was clear: ISIS has an army of global fighters who will threaten every country in the world. Since ISIS captured Mosul in June, most of the world governments have raised alarms over the threat those fighters can cause to their countries when they return home. In the Middle East, ISIS established active branches in Algeria, Libya, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.
The threat has already become a reality. In Algeria, ISIS followers beheaded a French citizen in September 2014. In Libya, they control the town of Derna. In Egypt, they are engaged in a guerrilla war with the Egyptian state in Sinai that has claimed the lives of hundreds of security forces, insurgents, and civilians. In Saudi Arabia, they attacked Saudi Shiites and a Danish citizen in November.
