(Global News) Canada’s intelligence service warned Thursday about the “security implications” posed by captured ISIS members the government is bringing home from detention camps in Syria.
In its annual report, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service said extremists returning from abroad might not immediately conduct attacks but “in time” may fundraise and recruit.
“They have been exposed to radical influences, violence, repression and many have received weapons and explosives training,” CSIS wrote in its report to Parliament.
The words of caution about “Canadian extremist travellers,” or CETs, come as Global Affairs Canada is repatriating Canadians caught in Syria during the fight against ISIS.
