(National-UAE) Terrorists are using the coronavirus lockdown to infiltrate Europe, experts said.
One of Europe’s most high-profile ISIS terrorists, Abdel Majed Abdel Bary, was arrested in Spain on Tuesday and last week, a new ISIS terrorist cell was caught in Germany.
British extremist Bary, 28, had taken advantage of the Spanish lockdown to enter the country and was using a face mask to disguise himself, authorities said. The terrorist cell in Germany had been raising funds for attacks on US forces stationed there.
Nikita Malik, director of the Centre on Radicalisation and Terrorism at the Henry Jackson Society, has given a warning that more terrorists could be using the pandemic to cross the continent and is urging authorities to be vigilant.
