Terror triumvirate: ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram training together in Mauritania: analyst | Fox News

“The situation in Mauritania is a powder keg very few people are talking about.”- Veryan Khan, Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium
At least 80 trainees, recruits from the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe, including France, are known to be training at the camps, according to a TRAC source who visited the camp and obtained documentation. Most of Mauritania's population of roughly 3 million is concentrated on the coast, around the capital of Nouakchott, while the rest of the country, which is the size of Texas and New Mexico, is arid desert and sparsely inhabited. The camps are far from the population centers.

“This is not a travel destination,” Khan said. “The only reason to be there from a Western country is to train for terrorism.”

This is going so well.
 
If they know where the training is taking place, it seems to me that this is a solvable issue.
 
80! Eighty guys. Jesus, somebody needs to do something about this.

How many terrorists did 9/11 require?

And that's not the point. Three powerful and violent factions working together to train Americans and Europeans to go home and wreak havoc. And these are just the 80 that they know of.

I'm more concerned that these three terrorist organizations are working together, perhaps in a coordinated way to create diversions and whatnot.
