Turkey emerging as new center for global terrorism

india.com

Turkey is reportedly becoming a new center for global terrorism, with its intelligence agency, MIT, supporting jihadist groups in Syria. This marks a shift from previous concerns about Pakistan as the main hub for such activities. A recent report indicates that MIT has established sleeper cells in Syria to assist jihadist networks. These cells are designed to remain inactive until needed, aiming to bolster Turkey's influence in the region. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan confirmed that over 80,000 armed elements are under Turkish control in Syria, with estimates of more than 10,000 foreign fighters involved. This involvement is seen as exacerbating the ongoing conflict in Syria.
