How Foreign Fighters Joining ISIS Travel To The Islamic State Groups CaliphateThe journey that would be jihadis take to the Islamic State groups so called caliphate can take place over dozens of different itineraries. What used to be a simple crossing of the border into Syria after an uneventful flight to a Turkish airport has now become, for many aspiring holy warriors, a fragmented journey, one that can involve multiple stopovers, bribery and getting smuggled over the border. A6DMj0anIb4N6nTOyhfkUm900.jpg' alt='Watch The Suspect Online Ibtimes' title='Watch The Suspect Online Ibtimes' />Security measures recently imposed by many nations to prevent foreign fighters from joining ISIS, as the Islamic State group is also known, have increased the variety of routes to the caliphate. These new routes often require a combination of land, air and sea journeys. But they all share one element They end in Turkey, from where the caliphate can be reached by crossing over the porous border with Syria. Rabbit-Proof Fence Full Movie. The way to get to Turkey has changed, but the country remains the most common entry point to ISIS controlled territory, as it has been since the group declared itself a caliphate with its de facto headquarters in Raqqa, Syria. The Turkish authorities know for whom they should be on the lookout. Earlier this month, the Turkish Interior Ministry issued a list of almost 1. The names came from foreign government watch lists and were confirmed by Turkey.

There are multiple ways to enter Turkey, however, and many border posts lack the equipment and personnel to monitor all incoming people effectively and accurately. ISIS online recruiters will assist potential foreign fighters in planning the trip and connect them with people who will take them to a safe house, after which they will be driven to a border crossing and smuggled into Syria, where ISIS fighters will be waiting to pick them up. Getting smuggled across the border can cost as little as 2. ISIS. On the other side of the border, recruits go through training and then, depending on their skills, are deployed to various cities under ISIS control in Iraq and Syria. Getting to Syria is the easy part of this process. But first, the potential ISIS recruit must get to Turkey undetected. The majority of itineraries often utilize pre existing trade, migrant or tourist routes, where an aspiring ISIS recruit can blend in with other travelers.

For most people traveling from North America and certain countries in Europe, getting to Turkey is as simple as booking a flight. Nowadays, its likely to be several flights on different airlines so that the end destination does not appear at the initial security check, arousing suspicion. Attempts at flying to Istanbul persist, irrespective of stricter air travel security at airports, Jasmine Opperman, a South Africa based analyst at the Terrorism Research Analysis Consortium, said. What is more frequent is broken flying, whereby would be fighters travel to intermediate destinations. Perhaps the most well known recent example of this type of travel is Hayat Boumeddienes escape to Turkey from France. Boumeddiene is the wife of Amdy Coulibaly, the French citizen who killed four people in a Kosher supermarket in Paris in January. Days before the attack Coulibaly drove Boumeddiene to Madrid, Spain, allegedly to meet family friends. From there, she flew to Turkey, where she crossed into Syria. Boumeddiene did not find any difficulty on her journey, she allegedly said in an interview published in the ISIS propaganda magazine Dabiq. Boumeddiene would have had a better chance of being caught had she flown to Turkey directly from France, where her husband was being monitored. For European Union passport holders, traveling within Europe to take a flight to Turkey from outside ones home country is easy. Under the Schengen Agreement, anyone holding a passport issued by most EU member nations can cross borders within the EU without a security check. The new recruit will only have to show documents to get into Turkey. Last month, an ISIS supporter published an e book on Scribd titled Hijrah to the Islamic State, a guide on how to make the journey to the caliphate, known as hijrah. The author advises new recruits to buy a two way ticket to avoid further suspicion. You can be kind of devious in how you do it, especially in Asia and Europe, but theres still quite a bit of straight air travel and then taking buses and cars to the border and crossings, Harleen Gambhir, an analyst at the Institute for the Study of War in Washington, D. C., said. Air travel to Turkey is still the most common route for those leaving from the U. S., she said. Land Routes. Those who arent able to take advantage of the EUs relaxed border policy because they do not hold a passport from the EU, may already be on a no fly list or lack proper documentation, can opt to make the longer journey by land. These routes are utilized mostly by fighters leaving from Europe or North Africa. The most common route for fighters leaving from northern and eastern Europe is to drive or take a bus through the Balkans to the Bulgarian border and enter northern Turkey. Others in Europe can also fly or drive to Greece and use the land crossing into Turkey. It is assumed that this is the route for weapons smuggling, said Dr. Jytte Klausen, a professor of international cooperation at Brandeis University and founder of the Western Jihadism Project, a research group. Turks living in Germany for years have taken this road for visits home. North Africans have an entirely different set of options. The most common end point in North Africa for fighters before getting to Turkey is Libya, where militants in the port city of Derna have proclaimed an offshoot caliphate, pledging their allegiance to ISIS. From there, would be recruits could take a small boat to Turkey. Tunisia is also a major transit point for North Africans hoping to join ISIS though Libya. The Tunisia Libya border is home to various jihadist training camps, including at least one operated by ISIS members. Tunisia has been the No. Syria so far As of last October, an estimated 3,0. Tunisians had traveled to Iraq and Syria and joined extremist groups such as ISIS. Sea Routes. Sea routes are becoming a much more effective way for aspiring fighters to get to Turkey undetected, but the risks of the journey are higher.
