US, Europe Split Over Terror Threat from Africa

Jeff Seldin

   Terror groups in Africa are getting more ambitious, increasingly
   mustering the resources and expertise to make their presence felt
   across the region with an eye toward wreaking havoc even further
   afield.

   Intelligence assessments from the United States, Western nations and
   other United Nations member states point to a variety of factors,
   ranging from a small but critical influx of foreign fighters from Iraq
   and Syria to the growing profitability of drugs and weapons
   trafficking.
